Gamekeeper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gamekeeper is a person who looks after an area of countryside to make sure there is enough game for hunting, and or fish for angling. Typically, the gamekeeper is employed by a landowner to prevent poaching on his lands, control unwelcome predators, and monitor the health of the wildlife.
