ellir0305 9 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 i am currently on holiday from college and hopefully despite many obstacles, consisting of lack of funds, starting a new course in countryside management next year i put up a similar post a while back looking for work but i really would like some experience in the field other than what i do as a hobby. i'm 17 years old and willing to work hard and i've got a year of engineering under me belt which could come in useful. i have my own transport (motorbike) and a provisional licence. i know a little bit about snaring and trapping but would like to learn from experienced practitioners. i shoot air rifles and shotgun (certificate application in progress). so would there be anybody willing to take me out for a few days as an extra pair of hands in return for some hard graft and a few drinks? thanks for reading Rob Elliott Quote Link to post
shepp 2,285 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Pick up a log book from your college, log and get signed off all your hours you spend doing pest control or anything else you do working in the countryside. You will find it much easier to keep up with your college work and get high grades if you don't have so much volunteer work to do during the course. You will need 240 hours in total. Take my advice and you will thank me later, i can promise you that much. Lastly you will love every miniute of it, it's a great course and there will be plenty of work in the environmental sector once the recession is over. Good luck Shepp Quote Link to post

I struggled to find the time when I was there, just finished now, got a Merit with my national certificate. I'll go back next year and make it up to a diploma, that year includes guns, stalking and deer management. Quote Link to post
