Duck shooting in Norfolk

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 norfolk

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.
