what different methods are keepers using to stop big flushes of birds on driven days?

Yes but the keeper doesn't know that till the end of the day unless the guns are saying after every drive that they are enjoy it. Keepers go on end of day bags, if they reach there target then there job has been done. If a keeper sees guns not shooting at birds theres nothing worse........and what someone thinks is not a sporting bird can be very different from another. Although this thread does make a nice change from the shoots i go too as its normally "head down" kind of stuff!!..... I'm not sure how that's justification for his behaviour Lab.

Hard to comment on this not being there but the birds that were high, were you hitting them? Ive seen it plenty times where the guns wont take average birds but cant hit the high ones and then moan at the end off the day cause the bag wasn't made. Its a pressure job and you have to take that into account. If he ranted and raved at you he probably over stepped the mark....dont go back!!! lab the job has changed in many ways from rearing to feeding practises but one thing you never change the presentation of birds knowing your beat knowing the weather implications on certain days planing
