nathgoon 2 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 hi all i would like to know the likelyhood of me getting a weekend job at a hunt to earn a bit of much needed money . i have had experiance with hunts, but more the terrier side mainly digging with my granddad and uncle and i havent worked at a kennal or with hounds atall. so basically i would like to know if there would be a chance of helping at a hunt in west sussex ( petworth area ) at the weekends . i know hunts can be abit touchy about letting people they dont know in , and rightly so but its worth a try . any contact details would be good , thanks for reading ...

terrier410 53 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 maybe offering to help out for free may get you in, then work your trust, plenty to do with the hounds before and after a hunt(especially after).good luck whatever you do. Quote Link to post
DIDO.1 22,199 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I should think if your keen and interested plus local then you should have no probs at all and if you have family who are hunt terriermen it will be a breeze, but I dont think you stand a chance of being paid.

DIDO.1 22,199 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I think if he mentions money he wont get much of a reply. Keeness to work with hounds and he could have the time of his life. Personal experience Quote Link to post
