nathan***** 0 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Listen mate. I wanted to be a gamekeeper, and still do but it’s not just about qualifications you need to be trusted. Do you go to any local shoots on any estates? , do you have a family member who used to be a gamekeeper? Do you have experience of managing land? if no to all of these i would consider going to or writing to a estate near you and asking to tag along with the head gamekeeper for a while . If all else fails then go to collage. But don’t put all your eggs in one basket buddy, there are different careers professional pest controller for example or countryside management. Game keeping is a hard profession to brake into so build a reputation for yourself and work from there. And good luck Quote Link to post
