take your time when your at the end of a drive and stand still just tapping should send them out slow just stop tapping when they start to lift

Slowly does it, when you get near the end or you can see them lifting,, be quiet ! lol..

 

Taking your time at the end of the drive is the key,, you just want to quietly move up and slowly drip feed out the birds.

 

Not always easy,, in fact,, never easy,, Labs idea of praying might also work ! lol

simplest method to stop big flushes is to make damned sure every beater with a dog has a lead and uses it other than that as above.

Like Dan said, the beaters need to be vigilaint, take it slow, lead up dogs, stop the line, and trickle the birds out. And keep quiet.

Dogs on leads & just as important is cover for the birds to tuck into, if the ground cover is sparse then chances are they will all go in a oner

Getting screamed at by the keeper to "KEEP THAT FECKIN FLAG STILL" helps.
