[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 5832618, member: 971"] Can't agree with that, know some excellent keepers who care for their birds, the environment and anyone affected by their operations. Unfortunately there are some very greedy land agents though who often want the numbers of birds 'upped'. Most keepers hate big bag days, there is so much pressure on them. I used to beat at Belvoir and one of the younger keepers (there were 4) had some of the most prestigious drives on his beat and he also had some of the biggest days (to be fair they were tip top shots). He used to be physically sick in the morning and on edge (and ratty!!!) at least until a few good drives had been completed. There is often a particular problem with pheasants being dumped in the 2 weeks around Christmas due to the high volume of shoots and the dealers/butchers want a few days off too! An entrepreneurial lad locally got his Dad to post on the village facebook page that he was dressing & selling game birds that his Dad had shot/bought from the shoot. He should have gained a handy Christmas stash as he had a lot of takers. [/QUOTE]
