Windy Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 What is the best time to visit a gamekeeper? i.e when is a visit likely to be pain in the ****? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Depends on why you're 'visiting'. If you don't know him, and you're asking for shooting then no time is a good time. If you're offering help in return for shooting, then no time is a good time. However, if you're offering help full stop, then anytime would be a good time. (The shooting would naturally follow by invitation when you've earned his trust and shown that you're not just a 'chancer'.) Maybe not all 'keepers would act as above....maybe it's just me...... :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Cheers. I bumped into the keepers wife whilst patrolling an area of fields that are being targeted by rogue metal detectorists. Had a little chat about this and that, and mentioned that I had spotted a few fields getting a bashing from the woodies. Raised the question of shooting the pigeon, and she told me to pop by the house some time to speak to him.........I forgot to ask when was a good time!! I dont want to interrupt him when he is busy.

Windy Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 gave her my card to give to him. I'm told by colleagues that he is a very nice chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Cheers. I dont want to interrupt him when he is busy. For any Keeper worth his salt that will be between 05:45 - 23:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 My local keeper is due to recieve his birds soon so once these arrive they are flat out and struggle for time (with checking the birds, feeding etc).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
