About duck shooting in west 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.
