bunter Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Can any of you experienced wild fowlers shed some light on when the season ends. In the Countryside Alliance handbook (page 17) it states - Wilde Geese & Duck - "Below the High WaterMark of ordinary Spring Tides - 1st Sept to 20th feb". Question, what does "Below the High WaterMark of ordinary Spring Tides" mean and does this apply to Scotland? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGhost Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Every 2 weeks (approx.) the tide is at its highest. This is a spring tide. On a salt marsh this is about the level of the marsh top. So stand in the right place and you are ok till the 20th. Law is the same in Scotland.

columbus Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Bunter if you look on an o/survey map of your area it gives the mean high water mark witch for the pupose of duck shooting you cannot go above that line from feb1 to feb 20 when the duck and geese season ends.Or to put it another way you are allowed a 20 day extenyion of the season below the mean spring tide high water mark.
