Whether you are new to wildfowling or looking for a new experience, as a BASC member you can enjoy a permit from £10 per day.
The booklet, which you can download below, provides information on obtaining wildfowling permits in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. These permits are offered by BASC-affiliated clubs, local authorities, and other organisations.
Most experiences are guided by existing club members to ensure participants have the best possible introduction to wildfowling and remain safe at all times.
The wildfowling permits and handbook is a one-stop shop for all wildfowlers new and experienced alike. It also includes sections on wildfowling and the law, fieldcraft – essential for a safe and successful wildfowling trip – legal restrictions, various non-lead ammunition alternatives, how to shoot sustainably, and further sources of wildfowling-related information.
If your club would like to feature in our booklet of wildfowling permits and handbook, or you need to update your existing information, please email wildfowling@basc.org.uk.
