Wildfowling Wildfowling permits
Whether you are completely new to wildfowling or just fancy trying it in a new destination, did you know you can enjoy a day for as little as £8?
As a BASC member you can get permits at more than 30 wildfowling clubs across the UK, through the wildfowling permit scheme.
The booklet, which you can download below provides all the opportunities that are available and how you can book your day, whether you are a newcomer or an experienced wildfowler.
The scheme collates all the permits and information on offer by BASC-affiliated wildfowling clubs, as well as various countryside organisations and local authorities.
These experiences are mostly guided by existing club members to ensure participants have the best possible introduction to wildfowling.
