tegater 789 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 "Morning flight" by Peter Scott and "Kenzie the Wild Goose Man" by Colin Wilock are two of my favorites about wildfowling but "Tides ending" and "Dark Estuary" by BB are excellent. I dont think you will find better reads on the subject, and although not written to be instructional, you will learn loads. Truly excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harrycatcat 31 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Have a look here, you will get some tips http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/128830-feeding-and-setting-up-a-new-flight-pond/ As jclay91 says I dont think you need wildfowling books if its inland ponds you are interested in, unless you intend to go wildfowling on the coast as well, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am more intrested in basics like shot, decoy patterns essential equipment. Felt I was best to master the basics in a safe enviroment before venturing onto the foreshore. you offerering to be a mentor ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
