live in northants went into keepering when I left school but somehow ended up as a builder but still shoot on the estate where I worked, iv got my d.m.q qualifications and take a keen interest in all things fieldsports from foxing/stalking to working terriers and I occasionally scare a pigeon or two over decoys;). thought id join this site to keep upto date with all you shooters out there, iv had .222 22/250 and currently using a heavy barrelled .243 thanks for reading and look forward to chatting to like minded people.

don't know that part of Northampton very well im northants /beds border although I did go to look around cottesbrooke estate when I was at college, cant remember the keepers name but brian rings a bell for some reason, and our tutor at college had a part time job near there I know his name was bob farmer
 
His name was Derek Dawes retired now ,I took over from bob when he got the sack ! ..... Been here 12 seasons now .my lad went to moulton and then sparsholt I even went to moulton many moons ago lol .
​cheers Norma
 
that's it Derek! small old world isn't it, seemed a nice bloke and I think bob was a thatcher by trade but got the job at moulton and landed on his feet
