BASC East
The eastern region of BASC is considered the engine room of shooting, with the exception of grouse there is every quarry species available.
The topography in the lowlands is perfect for grey partridge and the Wolds have some of the best driven pheasant shoots in the country.
Situated within our East region are more than 45 BASC-affiliated wildfowling clubs, which accounts for more than a third of clubs in the UK. There are also extensive deer stalking opportunities within the region, boasting all six species of deer.
The East region covers Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire.
