Live Driven Game Shooting
This form of shooting is much more formal than simply walking with your
dog alongside the hedgerows, and is usually confined to pheasant, partridge
and grouse shooting.
On the live game shooting day, a team of shooters, or guns,
line out at numbered pegs. Meanwhile, under the gamekeeper's instructions,
a group of beaters and their dogs move through areas of woodland or covert,
flushing the game ahead of them.
The aim is to get the birds to break cover and fly high over the line of
guns to provide sporting shots. Shot game is retrieved quickly by a picker
up who sends his or her trained gundog to where the shot game falls.
Rough Live Game Shooting
This is the most common method of live game shooting. Shooters
use their trained dogs to flush game out of the hedgerows, woods or other
cover as they walk along. These dogs also retrieve the shot game. Should
the quarry be wounded, the sportsman will retrieve and despatch it quickly
and humanely.
Virtually all the quarry species can be walked up (i.e. where the shooter
flushes out the quarry as he or she walks through cover). The countryside
knowledge and hunting skills required plus the fresh air, exercise and the
training and working of specially bred dogs makes rough live game
shooting one of the most popular, rewarding and cheapest forms
of live quarry shooting.
