Gamekeepers - full or part time?

[Shooter86 4]

Hi all,

 

just a quick question for all you game keepers out there, I know there will be a lot of full time keepers on here but how many of you late and lasses keeper part time and are there any courses that you can do alongside working a regular job to better your knowledge?

 

At the beginning of this year I joined my first DIY shoot, we hold regular work parties (about a quartet of the member show up) but I absolutely love it, been learning a lot for, the guys there and just wondered how many other part time keepers there are out there and how you guys balance it with a regular job

 

thanks in advance

I’ve been involved with shoots for a long time now, but it’s only in recent years that I’ve become a part time keeper, everything I’ve learned is from people on my shoot, other keepers and anyone else I can bother with my endless questions, I’m learning all the time but think I’m at a point now where I know enough to get by

Is that at life in general or strictly in terms of 'keeping??

Just keepering, I still really struggle with life, I don’t understand people

Have a look at the “ back up at the shoot “ thread, it will give you an idea how I do things, if you can get through all the nonsense on there, mainly from BenBhoy

A quartet? Did you have a good jam?
