Guest bluemink Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 why not just go and help out a keeper that rears his own? Quote Link to post
NORELATION 6 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 why not just go and help out a keeper that rears his own? So he will have first hand experience in rearing them in his own without anyone elses help. Quote Link to post

kbtfowler 2 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 get carried before you crawl Quote Link to post
NORELATION 6 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 get carried before you crawl Get shat out your mothers c**t before you get carried... whats your point? I saw fair play to the young lad for being pro-active about learning about pheasant rearing. Quote Link to post
Jebus 3 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 why not just go and help out a keeper that rears his own? So he will have first hand experience in rearing them in his own without anyone elses help. tbh I don't think rearing a dozen chicks in your garden will give you much experience jmho. It sounds to me as if you're jealous to a certain extent Bluemink. Evidently, he will gain experience because he's rearing the birds. To some extent I agree with your statement because he won't gain as much experience as he would if he was on a large game farm or shoot that rears their own birds. It doesn't take a lot on 'The Hunting Life' for people to start having a 'dig' at others, does it? It sounds to me as if some do not have anything better to do with their time than try to act as if they're perfect. Quote Link to post
Rhodey 96 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Well done mate keep it up, I say fairplay cant wait to have a read how you are getting on. Doesn't matter if you have 10 or 10,000 it's all good experience. Where just about to start catching this week 4000 to catch on friday. Quote Link to post

I have reared 100's of ornamental and ringneck pheasant. And now I help out at a large commercial game shoot, who rear all there own stock bar a few thousand, which are bought as day olds. I am the same age as this fella and I was just suggesting that he try and get some experience that would apply to a career in keepering, not trying to have a dig Quote Link to post
