Wild fowling season starts here in the UK on Saturday.
This is going to be my first season out. Looking forward to getting out on the foreshore in the wee hours.
Any wildfowlers here?

Had to Google it. Ducks and geese. I see. Sorry, not a wildfowler.
There are a lot here. I have hunted them in the past but unless someone else wants the, I don’t bother. I hate cleaning them. Good eating though. Good luck.
I am fairly lazy and had a few episodes of hypothermia out in the morning cold hunting geese and ducks about a decade ago. Crawling to the truck and everything I could do to put the key in the ignition was scary. Warm-up and go find my gun! :p
Sad part was I was damn good at it. Oh I had a feed-call to beat all!
Don't like wild duck much either. I always breasted them out and made chili.
Now my big fun anymore is dove-hunting and upland game if someone will take me.
Drive out to the field and pop out my stool.
Love hunting with good dogs. Don't know anyone anymore, sadly.
Used to go pheasant, chukar, quail with some old dudes who had some good pups.
They are all gone anymore.
Wing-shooting is fun.
Will need to try loading myself. We need to use steel shot here. Not cheap.

I go every season. I enjoy being out on the bay in the winter when there is nobody out there. We get mostly Bufflehead and Mergansers. Also Mallard and Black ducks. Good luck and enjoy.
Thanks.
I'll be happy to get a single duck this season. From looking at last years bag returns for the bay I am going to it looks like mostly mallard and wigeon and a couple of goose species.
Will consider myself supremely lucky if I get a goose for Christmas dinner.

I love bird hunting but the wife no longer cares for the meat so I don't do much quacker smacking any more.
