Fisheruk Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Nothing else like Wildfowling, or otherwise known as bird watching with a gun and lots of hope. I love being out in all weathers with my dog calling the birds in. Wish we all had more coastal access like in the past. How did you train your dog to call birds?

Grandalf Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 It's a cockadoodle so can only call chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anser2 Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Likewise - apart from the Derbyshire and having a dog bits. Been thinking about using the BSC Wildfowling Permit Scheme to give it a try. Anyone got experience of using the scheme ? Just wondering if I ought to apply now or wait until nearer the start of the season. I'm in Cheshire so the Mersey estuary is not a million miles away. Got for it now and strike while the iron is hot. At the very least download the BASC permit scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Get in touch with your nearest club, say you are interested and offer to come on some of their working parties. A willingness to get dirty and break into a sweat for the club will often help open doors. The dog problem may not be a problem as they club might be able to pair you up with a dog owner who will show you round and help. David.
