Proudly Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Been a regular visitor over the years to the area but only ever fished never shot. Seen that its possible to buy weekly wildfowling permits but wondered how you go about approaching a few days shooting. Is it better to get a guide or just find out as much info as possible before trying yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmo Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Get a guide BUT get a good one . Loads will take your dish and give you nothing .......... go on recommendations YOU know and trust not fancy adverts . Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler23 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 We always go freelance... But be warned, you will (if your normal) be annoyed most mornings, watching folk try shoot any goose in sight regardless of height and there not to fussy on species they pop shot at either... Saying that tho, I love the week up.. You certainly earn your geese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakin stevens Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Get a permit for £25 for wigtown bay , it's busy end of the season but still ok , you get a map and rules with your permit , pretty easy to follow , everything marked out for you . I wouldn't pay anybody for wildfowling do it yourself make your own luck , that's what it's about . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudly Posted August 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Thats what I was thinking SS, will we struggle to get permits early in the season? Would like to get over for a couple of nights in a b&b if possible. What are peoples opinions on carrying/storing guns whilst travelling for shooting? Best practices etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakin stevens Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Up at wigtown most are fine with guns and acomadation , it's shooting all yr round what with game and stalking . Pm if you like I will put you on some good cottages who just charge for the days you stay. Plus they have good drying rooms and do not fuss about guns . Make your own luck mate , then you will not be disappointed, guides want 70 to 100 pound a flight . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twymyn Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 If you want to shoot on the tidal marsh do it for yourself. I have never seen a guide out there. It takes time to learn any marsh but your goose will mean so much more if you have done it by your pwn skill and fieldcraft. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
