barraboy 28 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 No free foreshore fowling in England and believe its the same in Wales, all marshes either privately or club owned. so its membership fees IF you can find a club with vacancies. membership of BASC allows you to book day tickets on select club marshes for a fee. North of the border its free access to marshes, but not sure how it works up there beyond that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxfan 479 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Not so long ago anything below the high tide mark was free fowling, and a shotgun certificate could be obtained over the counter at any post office. It was considered a mans right to provide food for his family. My old dad drummed that into me. Just saying like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
windmig 1 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hi I am a French wildfowler. In France, we still have "almost free" places where everybody may hunt. These are public lands managed by associations. You just have to pay an annual licence to hunt there but it is not expensive. I pay around 90€ / year to be able to hunt there from beggining of August to end of January. This is for instance the case for the bays of the river Seine, Somme and around the Mont St Michel.
