The British Isles maybe small but despite their size they offer a variety of opportunities for hunters. Good shooing is accessible to everyone and the great camaraderie between hunters means you will always be welcome. But word of advice to visitors on how you use the word "hunters".In the UK "hunting" usually means hunting with packs of hounds - that is stag, fox or hare hunting. Those who use guns are not termed hunters but "shooters" or "guns". This word can apply to the person as well as the weapon. So if in England you ask about stag hunting be prepared to be given a horse, not a rifle! The British have great love of sportsmanship and a strong feeling for tradition like the importance of giving the gamekeeper a tip at the end of the day and the love for wearing tweed. Although camouflage might be perfectly acceptable for other countries or wildfowling it would be wrong to wear it for driven or rough shooting. On a formal shoot you wear a collar, tie and most importantly your Hunter Balmoral Sovereign Wellies. You need to make sure your feet are going to be warm and dry. If you need any guidelines Farlows is a well know brand or just look through any British shooting Magazine and you will see the clothes that are appropriate.
Shooting is generally owned and controlled by individuals, rather than clubs or local associations, except for wildfowling. The representative body for the country shooting in the UK is the British Association for Shooting and Conservation which is supported by 120,000 people. The BASC can give advice on all subjects and fights political threats to this sport resolutely.

For Wildfowling you will need to go to some of the UK remotest places in the roughest weather to experience this type of shoot. Now it's down to you to decide which interests you the most and enjoy.
