You need to contact the Hunting Office, there used to be a bursary scheme for school leavers wanting to go into service I don't know if it's still running or not. If you're lucky enough to get a place don't expect too much from your first job chances are you'll be living in a caravan earning crappy money, skinning calves and picking up hound shit seven days a week. Some jobs you don't even get to go hunting very often but you need to get your foot in the door and get some experience in and around kennels and hunting that's the most important thing at your stage.

 

Very few people go straight into hunt service as professional terrierman/countrymen but if you're keen enough and willing to put the work in something will hopefuly come up before you reach 65

 

If you want the hunting office contact details I can pm them to you.

 

Just out of interest who's your local pack and do you follow them often?
