[Bobba_fett 117]

[kx100 66]

Yeah a beat keeper

What he's saying mate how come you've got an interview for a beat keepers job when you haven't got any grouse exp? Unless you're not going to be a beat keeper but a trainee?

As I said before good luck kx100 but a word to the wise in this game it,s best to keep quiet about interveiws and new job hopes cause there is always some c**t waiting in the wings to f**k it up for ya

I guess you dont have any grouse exp either then. it may not sound like rocket science to you, grouse keeping isnt chicken farming.

in the spring we're flat out 20 hour working days. you cant just buy in more grouse if they get eaten, every fox, every stoat, every weasel has to be accounted for. it takes determination and most people couldn't hack it. its a young mans game. plus 5,000 pheasants? all bought in and kept in pens?, we shot over 6,000 grouse last year and we didn't buy them in, they have been protected from the egg to the butts.

Dont wanna sound down hearted about any job because i wish you the best of luck but be it pheasant,partridge or grouse without experience not many keepers would take some one straight on as a beatkeeper and if the job is advertised in the shooting times it wont be in the 10's what apply it'll be in the 100's

[cammy12 176]

crack on lad, you gotta start somwhere and wouldny worry too much whats for you doesny go by you, i got a start as an under keeper at 17 and new a little but not alot the best way to learn is out there on the moor, just because its a beat keeper position doesnt mean you will be at it on your own i presume you will be part of a team with a head keeper if you have an eagerness to learn and get involved counts for more somtimes than sombody that thinks they no f*****g everything. all the best with the interveiw but as already said keep things like that to your self to many jelous b*****ds aboote

I never said pheasants did i ? im on about grouse if you pm me ill tell you what estate.

Good on you mate, don't listen to all the knocks, some people cant help but be a prick.

Maybe those that of you that have so much experience could help the lad out with some positive advice to help him and give him a bit of confidence and extra knowledge instead of knocking him down.

Mate Im sure you wouldn't have got an interview if you were not in with a chance of getting the job. Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Thanks guys ! Don't my work placement on a phesent partridge estate last year still go up and help the keepers when I can also had abit of heather but nevere shot the grouse on it but had to burn it so got abit of heather burning experance ! We had a hell of a lot of birds last ood few more than 5000 anyways ! They taught me how to drive a tracter ect ... And let me set my own traps and that so know a fair bit about trapping and snaring ! Also the keeper that let me know about the job I was beating for him on the last estate for 2 seasons ! And worked with him for my school placement nows I a keen learner and eager to be part of a team
