    Episode 644 - BASC || Keeping The Tradition Of Wildfowling Alive

    05/12/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
    In one of our most accent-ridden podcasts ever, Robbie interviews three wildfowlers (Dave Upton, William Wykes, and Gerald Carlile) from all over the United Kingdom about their exploits in the marsh, the community and culture around “wildfowling” in the UK and the traditions they share. If you thought you heard some hectic accents before on the podcast - just wait till you listen to this one. However the topics that are covered in this podcast are the root of hunting worldwide, but focused on wildfowling (aka duck hunting in America). The individuals and Robbie explore the tradition, heritage, and elements that make wildfowling what it is, they even explore punt-gunning, though banned in the US, is still something you can do in the UK. Importantly the entire group talks about how self-regulating the waterfowling / wildfowling community is and why they self-regulate themselves. This is a must listen to podcast!
