shootlodge 145 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Its a life style ....not a job, takes years to pick the perks..its not for everyone, with long hours at times, & British winters to contend with no matter how glorified it seems. Quote Link to post
buzzrobbie 4 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 i would jump at the chance to do this, if only it was in my area, i am surprised there are no takers, its such an amazing opportunity. Quote Link to post
bird 9,858 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 even though its a great outdoor career for a young person , i think a little wage would make it more attractive. Kids do paper rounds ,which prob most dont like doing. But getting wet and cold in the winter, is the same for every one. So £ 20 odd quid a week what ever a paper kid getts aint going to break the bank is it .? When i was kid 50 odd years ago lol , i always done some kind of job, and it was nice to couple of quid in your back pocket, you start to feel like a grown up, show them there are worth more than a pat on the back, even though they like what there are doing. 1 Quote Link to post
trigger2 3,129 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 that seems to be a decent enough offer for some young lad. imo if a young lad takes the work on and sticks to it you know they are genuinely interested in doing that kind of work. after all game keeping is more a way of life, rather than just a paid job.

the monkey 338 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 is it legal i thought with the minimum wage there had to be some payment involved Quote Link to post
THE RABBIT SLAYER 0 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 i would be well in at this if i stayed a little closer Quote Link to post

Rake aboot 4,935 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Typical of that game though, they want the work done but don`t want to pay, so they glorify it as a way of life instead of career. 2 Quote Link to post

Qbgrey 4,062 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 very rare oppertunity indeed,f...k all pay for work. 1 Quote Link to post
gonetoearth 5,144 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Kid that approach a shoot and ask to help and a shoot advertising. For a lad to carry out work is different. The HnS implications would be my concern the rearing of pheasant etc is no place for a young man without. Experienced super vision. Gas bottles, the wearing of dust masks etc etc. I am all for work experience and done in the right way it can be life changing , but even the smallest of shoots surely can muster a small bounty for a young lad , IMO Quote Link to post
