gamekeeper

Person employed to rear and preserve game birds for shooting. Gamekeepers are also responsible for much of the organization of shooting parties.

It is the gamekeeper's task to rear the birds (usually under artificial conditions) and to release them into a protected environment. They must then be guarded against disease, natural predators, and poachers. During the shooting season the gamekeeper advises the landowner on the details of each day's activities and directs the beaters who ‘flush out’ the birds towards the waiting guns.
