sionnach99 1,276 Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 What type jobs do you boys work that allows good time off to work your dogs hard week in week out, or how many days a week are lads actually going out and doing a bit during the season, i myself amnt working at the moment and was out at some type of hunting 5/6 days a week over the Christmas last season, but will be looking into probably going back and sorting myself with a trade or something where a whole pile of education isnt needed Quote Link to post

Mooching Celt 659 Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 4 on 4 off shifts, effectively only work 6 months a year less if you allow for holidays. Best advantage is the ability to get out more midweek when all the window lickers are at work 6 Quote Link to post
