Sports / Fitness / Recreation / hunting game with dogs
German term or phrase: Drückjagd
From the description on Wikipedia.de I think this is something like a "flush hunt", the idea being to get the game on the run, into the air and shoot asap, except I don't think "flush hunt" is used in UK, any hunters out there? I've got gun dogs but they are only pets!

Flush out
Explanation:
I know that when the prey is chased out of the bush it is called flushing it out. Maybe this will help you further!
