I have a gamekeeper somewhere in my research and he, too, moved all over the country.
I have seen it with others when looking for things on Rootschat for others too.
I guess that it was a specialist job, only an estate large enough to have "game" that needed "keeping" for shooting would employ a gamekeeper. So, if your Dad was a gamekeeper for the big estate where you live, and you follow in his footsteps, then you have to go elsewhere to get a job (assuming Dad hasnt yet reached retirement age!). I don't know if there was any sort of career ladder amongst gamekeepers, and as you progressed in your career, if you wanted promotion, it was again a case of moving to another estate somewhere else in the country.
