Anything more like a keepering manual? How to arrange vegetation to hold birds, when to feed, wtf does dogging-in mean anyway, where to put your guns and beaters etc.

Dogging in is getting birds back into your cover strip using a spaniel usually ( but not exclusively ) some time before you do the drive . In a nutshell cover strips should be on higher ground ( unless they are going to be blanked into higher ground before the drive comences ) Pens should be the oposite ground to the cover strips . ( birds will usually fly from cover back to the reliece pen they were reared in ) . Feeding can be by hoppers or you can hand feed by whistleing the bird and feeding on a straw ride . You want the feeders in the cover strips . This is very baisic . There are other subtlties .
