Wildfowling Club of the Year award now open for entries
Editor Patrick Galbraith explained: “Wildfowlers are possibly the finest ambassadors that shooting has. Their conservation work, appreciation of the landscape they shoot over and enthusiasm for encouraging others into the sport is something they should be very proud of.
“Just as importantly, there is nothing more exciting you can do at five in the morning than lie in a ditch on a muddy foreshore waiting for wigeon to whistle overhead or the greylags to leave their roosts and come inland for the day.”
