The game keeper in my area has just started a new syndicate where every pigeon shooter who shoots for a certain land owner must now pay him (the game keeper) £60 per year to shoot pigeons. No longer a free service to land owners.

Sounds a bit harsh when you have previously had it for nothing, but that's the way of the world mate, depends how good the shooting is if its mediocre, bin it and go elsewhere, if its good pay up and keep shooting, any chance of getting anything else out of the syndicate, ie foxing, duck shooting ect?

speak to land owner. i have the same a few years ago and it was the keep thinking he was a bit special, you couldn't do this, you couldn't do that. you had to phone to book a date to shoot. a chat with the land owner brought thinks to light. He isn't on the estate any more.

 

keepers are a bread to themself, i have meet a lot over my time and i can honestly say that there not on this earth to make friends. saying that i have a few good uns that i will go out my way to help. lol
