How to Hold Onto Your Birds, and All Things Keepering
Professional gamekeeper Rob Barnard runs two estates and shares the reality behind the job on his YouTube channel, A Gamekeeper's Diary. In part one of this two part series, Rob talks about growing up on a small family shoot, the tough break into keepering, a year in Belgium, and turning down a headkeeper job in Romania. We also cover the isolation of rural work, leaning on the Gamekeepers Welfare Trust, his take on stopping birds from wandering off, and whether rearing your own poults is worth it.
