A Day In The Life Of: GBS Gundogs & Picker Ups With Kev Jenkins

Episode Ten – With the pheasants flying high over the British countryside we join Picker Upper & Gundog Trainer Kev Jenkins owner of Dafarn Galed Gundogs, as he explains the vital role gundogs play on shoot days.

Welcome to a Great British Shooting, here we celebrate all that is great about shooting in Britain. From world-renowned driven shoots on prestigious country estates, through to walked up “rough shoots” on farms and smallholdings, we meet some of the incredible characters that bring our shooting days together.

The Bodidris Shoot Estate is set within the beautiful surroundings of Denbighshire, North Wales and offers shooters quality driven game on a traditional family run sporting estate. The atmosphere is always upbeat and friendly, as the team are dedicated to providing professional and friendly services, making sure everyone involved has the best day shooting possible.

Gundogs are an essential part of any driven shoot day; they not only can reach difficult areas such as undergrowth’s, they can help locate lost or injured game. It also would be unethical not to have dogs on driven days.

Kev’s role on shoot days is to stand behind the guns and collect all the birds that have been shot.

Before any gundogs can be taken on a driven shoot day they need extensive training.

One of the most challenging aspects of training gundogs would be teaching them steadiness. It’s essential that the dogs know the birds are there to be hunted and pushed forward – but for the dogs not to, what is called, peg them (i.e. catch the birds themselves). The only time a gundog should have a bird in its mouth is on a retrieve.

Kev loves nothing more than building a strong relationship with his gundogs – “Getting to see a puppy that has been specifically chosen from a litter go through extensive training to the point where they can confidently retrieve a bird is the best feeling in the world”.

Why shoot pigeons?
The woodpigeon is recognised as the UK’s number one agricultural pest and causes millions of pounds of damage (AHDB consultation 10-40% loss in yield. Equivalent loss of £125/ha for Oil Seed Rape, £250/ha for peas, £350-£1250/ha for brassicas) to agricultural crops every year including cereals, brassicas, oilseed rape, peas and salad crops. Pigeon damage reduces the yield, quality, appearance and ultimately the saleability of the crop. Pigeons can also cause damage in gardens and allotments – pecking at the leaves and ripping off portions, often leaving just the stalks and larger leaf veins. They may also attack and strip buds, leaves and fruits off trees and bushes.
The UK woodpigeon population was last estimated at 5.4 million pairs in 2009. Densities of wood pigeon are the highest in Eastern England, coinciding with the highest concentration of horticultural production.
Wild pigeon (game) is natural and free range, and it is one of the healthiest meats available today. It’s low in cholesterol and high in protein… and, quite simply, delicious.

The McDougal Sports Challenge

Shoots across the country are diversifying, playing to their strengths and offering more than just well-presented birds. At the Ashbourne estate in Sussex, the McDougal Challenge involves shooting a male rooster in the morning and then, after a hearty lunch, tying a fly with a tail feather and then fishing for a trout in the clear waters of the lakes. We joined a group of guns/rods hoping to join the exclusive McDougalers club. This film first appeared on Fieldsports Britain, episode 153.

Which is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (No. 07236828). Why hunt game birds? Game is wild, natural and free-range, and is one of the healthiest meats available today. It is low in cholesterol and high in protein. Results from research commissioned by the Game-to-Eat campaign (Leatherhead Food International Research 2006) suggest that eating wild animals has real health benefits. Both rooster and partridge contain high levels of iron, protein, vitamin B(6) and selenium, which helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. In addition to the nutritional benefits of hunting, hunting is worth £2 billion annually to the rural economy and supports 74,000 jobs. There are 480,000 (UK Government figures) active shooters in the UK who enjoy bird hunting according to the principles of the Code of Good Shooting Practice. In the UK, over 2 million hectares are actively managed for photography, creating proven conservation benefits (PACEC, 2014) and preserving important habitats for a wide range of flora and fauna, particularly farmland birds. UK game suppliers spend £5.4 million on cover crop seeds each year and maintain more than 25,000 hectares of wild bird cover.
