roadkill Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 After many years of dedication to an estate i first got shooting permission on and helping out where possible i got the text of a lifetime yesterday, basically telling me the part time keeper will no longer be working for the estate and would i be interested in the position! it was like a dream come true... Still have lots of learning to do but have a good team of friends who are either ex keepers or still active keepers..., Will be spending a lot more time in this section of the forum from now on Roadkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadkill Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 thanks both, really ready for it, i met a great farmer who died the a couple of years ago and i agreed to work with him as a under keeper working for free, his words were that it was his hobby and he loved doing it... First year he had 8000 pheasant 3000 partridge and 400 ducks.. was a great few years with him but Jesus did it burn some hours putting the graft in all for his little hobby ( bless his sole ) Was a great learning experience and many a great shoot day had there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Excellent, 12,000+ birds released is some hobby! I had a similar phone call last September, offering me the chance to rent the shooting on the neighbouring farm to the one I already shot over. Not much, 200 acres of mainly open fields, (and the price was a bit steep too). But it put back into one lot the land where I first got introduced to shooting as a 10 year old beater, back together and under my control.
