Duck shooting in East Anglia

Duck shooting in East Anglia

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 anglia

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.

KUDURIVER GUNDOGSSPORTING AGENT

Multiple Locations

KuduRiver Gundogs, led by Jake and Laura, is built around a lifelong passion for the British countryside, gundogs, sporting tradition and exceptional hospitality. Our aim is simple: to create memorable sporting experiences where the day is about far more than the final bag. KuduRiver experiences bring together small teams of like-minded people to enjoy carefully selected days in the field, with an emphasis on great sport, outstanding hospitality and the traditions that make British game shooting so special. Gundogs are very much part of the experience, and we actively encourage guns to bring their dogs and share the day with non-shooting guests. From in-field elevenses and exceptional food to the conversations, friendships and stories shared throughout the day, we believe the moments surrounding the shooting are every bit as important as the shooting itself. Working with carefully selected estates, shoots and sporting venues, KuduRiver seeks out opportunities that reflect our values: respect for the countryside and its quarry, responsible shooting, great people, great dogs and genuine hospitality. We believe the finest days in the field aren't measured simply by the number of birds in the game book. They're remembered through the people you meet, the dogs you watch work, the places you're privileged to visit and the stories still being told long after the final drive. As KuduRiver continues its journey, new sporting experiences and opportunities will be announced here. KuduRiver Gundogs - Tradition Made Together.
