sidebyside 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 You don't have to go to college. Try your local shoots, get a taste of the job first. You may well spend a couple of years studying something you don't actually like. May of the college students don't get jobs anyway. Quote Link to post
DevonHunter 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Go to college and study 'Land management' They'll snap you up right away and if your lucky tell your local estates you are at college and they make take you on as an apprentice. Quote Link to post

Once you get to know him offer to help him out during the rearing season. In the evenings and weekends. And get a taste of what its all about. A lot of people think its just walking around with a gun all day but they couldnt be further from the truth. Its bloody hard work seven days a week. more a way of life than just a job. I enjoyed my days as a keeper back in the eighties in north Essex. At that time i went to hampshire colledge of agriculture. But there was no official qualifications in them days for keepers. Dont know if there is now? Quote Link to post
