RubyTex 1,957 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Good luck mate, I'll keep an eye out. Are you looking on guns on pegs, sporting gun etc? Also on Facebook if you're on there 'jobs for gamekeepers' usually throws up some good ones.. Quote Link to post

border-hunter 29 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Aye billy had enough left earlier in the year, far to big of a shoot for me 6 days a week shooting I has no time to fart chasing same birds everyday isn't sport Quote Link to post
Lab 10,979 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 So you had a job but you've left it to look for a similar job but not as much hours.? Good luck..lol 1 Quote Link to post
border-hunter 29 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 No no you've got the wrong end of the stick,, commercial shooting isn't for me, hours didn't bother me one bit!! but I didn't enjoy what I was doing, I like being flat out rearing etc, trapping feeding etc, but 30 odd thousand between 2 chasing the birds it wasn't sport, just rather be somewhere where I enjoy and my work is appreciated to them I was just another donkey shit wages basically worked for pennies by the time my bills was paid, I know it's not about the money but if you knew what I was on you wouldn't have stayed either mate ?

danw 1,748 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 No lecture from me couldn't care less just can't see how if you have 30k on the floor you could shoot 130 plus days Quote Link to post
