Starting Wildfowling

[mattydski 560]

Dear all,

I am ashamed to say that I live overlooking the River Tay Estuary, and I am 10 mins from Montrose Basin, but I have never shot a goose, (with a Shotgun).

It is something i have wanted to try for quite a while, but have never managed to get a grip of the legislation etc, Ie where you can legally shoot.

Could someone suggest a definative source of information that can be relied upon for accuracy?

I have no wish to break any laws.

regards

Matt

I can recommend Both a Person and a Website.

 

The Person in question is Wag, Anything you need to know, I'm Sure he'll help you out. Him being a prolific Wildfowler.

 

And the website I would recommend is http://www.basc.org.uk There you will find plenty of Information.

 

As you are in Scotland, the Law is different regarding the Crown Foreshore and who may shoot on it. I believe that anyone can shoot on some parts but don't quote me on it

 

Have a read through the BASC site and you'll have all the info you need.

 

Regards

SS

hi matt ,S/S has given you good advice , i try to get to shoot the tay about 3 or 4 times a year its a great place to shoot. its also very big place to shoot too,with limited access points on to the foreshore, which means very long walks to where you need to be . my advice would be try these http://www.tvwa.co.uk/ see how you get on

 

 

also if i remember when shooting montrose basin, you have to apply to the ranger in your area for a permit but this has to be done by july i think im not quite sure just check on it mate .

 

if you need anything else mate just let me know if i can help i will do .

The basin is a permit tidal water & has a club on it. You can shoot any other tidal water & there is some good bits in your area. You can get a permit for the basin to shoot but its to late now i think but the coast has good spots & im looking to try a new bit this year maybe.
