Beaulydog Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Lindisfarne wildfowling permits up £10.now £67 per season getting a bit expensive don't think their worth that Considering the widgeon and geese are out of their after a few weeks. Odd pintails teals any way that's my opinion.river tweed shoots better permits a lot cheeper the Scottish sides for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamch Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Per a friend of mine who is on the wildfowl panel permits have gone up £2 for this season. The permit income helps to pay for the wardening and admin of the fowling scheme, so without sales of permits there would be no fowling. £67 is hardly expensive for a seasons fowling in my book, if you get it right there's always sometihng about if you work at it. It works out at just over £10 a month.... about the cost of a pint per week. Yes the Tweed is cheaper but for a much smaller area, less quarry and no Sunday shooting I think on the Scottish side which is covered by a permit and is not free.
