I had an invite of sorts this year, to go down with a guy whos being shooting them for 30 years, But since I am dogless I fear I will be a casual observer!

I would not get hung up on the altitude , where we hunt they can be anywhere , even on the river terraces . Pointer you can still get shooting without a dog . Position yourself below the working dogs as the birds take off down hill like rockets ! You will hear them coming . First bird I got was like that ,was wicked .
