Boromir Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) No he could be right, I know someone who is working with a gamekeeper just left school, he is getting paid just under £700 a month thats after taxes , he has been told to go for his nvq gamekeeping apprenticeship course. Bobbo some advice whatever your being paid stay at home with your parents you'll save loads of money.

bobbo Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 hey guys sorry i havent bein on lately, bein working flat out work 8 till 8 most days then some times 8 till 9 ish crating. i earned 398 pound this week im on hourly pay, dont believe it if you dont want to. im the one smiling with a suziki jimny coming my way soon. haha. good luck sam. btw it really is wild here the boss's daughter is lush. shes 17 and there were 2 kittens in the hatchery one got ripped to bits by the terrier and the other is now in my garage its a nut case but im guna try tame it and use it as a farm cat. haha this really is my dream job. but its real hard work. thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 bobbo, wouldnt call 8 till 8 a real hard day! Most keepers are getting up at 4.30 am to go and check birds and dont touch the pillow until 18 hours later. Letting kittens get ripped apart isn't the best way to impress young girls either! And earning £398 working 12 hours a day 5 days week sounds like very good money, especially when most keepers work for £250- £300 a week doing a lot more hours than you.
