Fiddich Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Bit late to this but would avoid like the plague mate it’s really not worth the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiddich Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 It’s a bit of an unfair system really mate. If you live in the local area in the county of Westmorland you pay £130 a year membership and if you live outside the area it’s £260! You will see on the website they have inland syndicates to, you have to apply and pay extra again for these. The 17 miles of foreshore they advertise is rubbish, and some of it there is nothing there and the best marsh has silly rules on it. No evening flights in September. That’s where the few geese that are actual about tend to be. It’s the land owners rule who also happens to be a member of wwa and shoots the geese with his mates on the fields behind the sea wall. I could go on and on mate but the short of it is there is very very little in the way of wildfowl there. You will end up very frustrated and most the time be very lucky if you see a single duck let alone get chance to shoot at one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiddich Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I have shot on a few and still shoot with one nw wildfowling club and I have never known anything like wwa. It’s more river shooting as there isn’t much of what I would call marsh and it’s just full of egrets and gulls haha. Very few geese and if a couple do turn up your shoulder to shoulder on there and they will be shot off within a day or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Richo Posted December 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Fiddich thank you very much for the information it is a good help to me I have filled in the application form as am looking to shorten the distance I travel to go wildfowling but looks like I may be better putting up with the travelling time to get some decent shooting. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakin stevens Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Try Barton upon humber wildfowling club, that's run well I did join it a few years ago. I found them very friendly and a helpful club , only reason I dropped out was that I rented some duck flight ponds near my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddich Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 By all means join and give it a go but I think you would end up disappointed. Sure there is a £200 joining fee as well so your first season is about £400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Look on the BASC website and see if you can have a try under the wildfowling scheme. Might be better to see if you fit in first. David. PS. I don't know where "northwest" on your location is precisely but we might have a vacancy next season on the Rhyl and Conwy. David. Edited December 28, 2018 by Kalahari Forgot a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
