cumbrian top shot Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hi Kelvin, Best thing to do is apply to one of the gamekeeping college's like Sparsholt or Newton Rigg and gain some extra qualifications and you'll prob get a placement on a shoot as part of your course, you'll get more experience working with headkeepers or beat keepers on shoots and maybe just maybe you could get taken on once college is finished, speaking from experience a lot of jobs you see advertised nearly all ask about experience, its not all about shooting vermin, its bloody hard work and can be very long hours,I'm not saying you won't get a job without going to college but it will make it easier to get a job in the keepering world, I hope you find yourself a job even a part time one just helping out, the more experience you get the better.

kelvin stanton Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I have been lucky enough to shadow one of the local game keepers helping with dogging in and such like but I would like to take a more hands on approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
