game keeper

Protects the pheasants

A gamekeeper is a person employed to manage and protect wildlife on a private estate, typically to maintain populations of game birds and deer for hunting.

Gamekeepers control predators, prevent poaching, and manage habitat: The gamekeeper caught them trespassing on the lord's land.

The role is quintessentially British, associated with country estates and field sports.

Usually written as one word: gamekeeper.
