russ91 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 hi there gents is there any chance some one that dose keeping on a regular basis that could do something like a keepers diary. i for one would find this realy good reading to see what is done on a daily basis on a small or lager shoot.

Mungler Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I keep regular with whole meal bread and lots of fruit and veg. Cup of tea and a fag in the a.m - set your watch by it. Can't beat starting the day with an "Allied Carpet" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 A keeper friend of mine used to work for someone who kept a diary, all from the 1950's... day to day count of what was trapped, etc etc. Such an amazing bit of history- Sadly the bloke was conned by some americans and they stole it and alot of money. Such a great shame. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Come dawn come dusk is a great book, I recommend it even if it is about keepering in years gone past Will's Shoot is also a good rear (although less about day to day and more about the general practise).
