Wildfowling
is the British term for that branch of shooting that the Americans
call "waterfowling" and it covers duck hunting and goose
shooting. In traditional UK terms it is the
pursuit of wild ducks and geese below high water mark but, nowadays,
it sometimes also includes inland shooting, either on flight ponds or over
decoys.
The
richest source of information about Wildfowling in Britain is on the
Wildfowling
website which has full details of quarry species, shooting
seasons and links to the main wildfowling clubs throughout the
Britain.
You can
get an even wider experience of fowling in the UK by reading the
classic
Fowler
in the Wild, the full text of which is published on the
Internet and by taking in some inspiring articles from
Wildfowling
Magazine.
If
you want to use a BASC registered goose guide you will find a current
list in
Wildfowling Magazine online.
