Product Description
This is the first in an exciting new series of books produced on behalf of the British Association for Shooting and Conservation by Quiller Publishing. Wildfowling calls for hardiness, patience, a willingness to learn and the ability to be content with a small bag or none at all. And yet, of all shooting, it is the most romantic, potentially the most dangerous and many would say represents the purest form of hunting. This indispensable guide provides the reader with an introduction to the sport and covers all aspects of wildfowling: quarry species; equipment and clothing; gns; reconnaissance; roosting; flightlines and tactics on the marsh. Illustrated with photographs and diagrams it is a succinct and practical guide to the sport.

Was advised to get a wildfowling guide to help me improve my understanding of this most amazing sport and it hasn't failed in any way.
Loads of great tips on safety etc.. and some unexpected but very useful information, worth every penny.
