Duck shooting in East Midlands

Duck shooting in East Midlands

The duck shooting season runs from 1st September to 31st January inland, and until the 20th February below the high-water mark. Duck shooting varies hugely depending on the style in which it is done.

About duck shooting in east midlands

The key aspect is whether the duck are reared or wild as the style of shooting varies somewhat. Many driven duck shoots will rely upon a large reared stock whereas duck flighting for wild duck relies upon fieldcraft and luck. The most common species is mallard but when shooting wild duck, wigeon and teal will make up a large part of the bag.

Rough Shooting Walk Up Days

Lincolnshire, United Kingdom

We are an established shoot based in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds and pride ourselves with rearing top quality game birds. Our rough shooting days are exciting and ideal for working your own dogs to enhance their hunting and retrieval confidence. Early in the season we will cover boundary terrain which includes woods, dykes, sugar beat and various other cover crops. From January, we open the full shoot which provides a fabulous opportunity to work your dogs and shoot within the main drives and acres of arable farmland. You will be accompanied throughout the day by a very experienced guide. Bag size up is up to 10 for a team of 2 and 30 for a team of 6 (this can be adjusted to your requirements). We have a dedicated shoot barn with welfare facilities, plenty of parking and the use of our Gun Bus. Please email for further information. A £50 deposit per gun is payable to secure dates. Ideal for Teams of 2 to 6 guns, however, if you want a bigger group please get in touch as we can cater for this. We can recommend local accommodation who will accept dogs. Feel free to book as an individual and we can group you with other guns.

Belvoir Castle

Leicestershire, United Kingdom

With it's dramatic views, deep valleys, historic parkland and lakes the Belvoir Castle Estate is the perfect place to offer the finest partridge, pheasant and duck shooting in breathtaking surroundings. The highest quality driven birds, combined with the heritage and magnitude of the castle makes for an experience never to forget. Shoot Captain Phil Burtt and his experienced team share a passion in making Belvoir one of the best shooting estates in the UK. There are many exciting drives to choose from on the 16,000 acre Belvoir Estate. No two drives are the same. Different locations, scenery, topography, wind and the natural instinct of the birds makes each and every drive a new experience. The success of the Belvoir shoot lies in the management and team work of all involved, from the early planning stages, through to the day itself. The team work extremely hard to provide a truly memorable experience with first class hospitality in the most wonderful surroundings of the castle and shoot lodge with perfect places to take the all important elevenses such as "Frog Hollow" a beautiful spot with views of the Lakes. Shooting at Belvoir Castle we have over 60 drives on the Estate, all of which are used according to weather, bag target, experience of guns etc. Your shoot day will usually consist of four or five drives, with refreshment breaks during the day and late lunch at the end of the day when shooting finishes. Generally, the minimum bag target for a Castle shoot would be 250 birds or over per day, although you can of course choose to shoot a bigger bag. The price for shooting includes the birds, all refreshments on the shoot day and transport around the shoot if required. **Simulated Clays** We can also arrange simulated clay pigeon days on the estate using the very latest clay traps together with the topography of the Estate for maximum variety and realism. Days take place outside of the shooting season and offer teams of guns the opportunity to enjoy the excitement of a real day's shooting in the summer months as they prepare for the season ahead. For more information on all our shooting or to enquire about available dates for this season or next please contact Caroline Ward.
