Wildfowling
Wildfowling is shooting at its rawest. No beaters, no pegs, no lunch in the shoot hut – just a gun, a dog and a stretch of foreshore at first light, with the tide doing exactly what it pleases. It is a sport of long walks in the dark, cold hands, and a great deal of waiting for a few unforgettable seconds when the geese finally come over.
This is where you’ll find everything ShootingUK publishes on the foreshore: seasonal news from the marsh, quarry guides to duck and geese, kit that will stand up to mud and salt water, gundog work in the tidal creeks, and the practical detail of tides, permits and safety that no wildfowler can afford to get wrong. We cover the law as it affects the coast, the work of the wildfowling clubs and BASC’s part in it, and the conservation record that goes with the sport.
