UK Duck Commander: wildfowling on the Kent Marshes

Our very own Duck Commander Mark Gilchrist is out in the North Kent Marshes, created by the Thames Estuary and the River Medway, and where London Mayor Boris Johnson wants to build the 'Boris Island' fourth London airport. He is going duck shooting with a few friends between the tides. It's an early start and a boat ride to the muddy heaven - a place for waders and warm clothing. See how he gets on among some of Britain's best wildfowling.

Privileged to have Shot here on alternate Saturdays in season as part of the Chatham Garrison military shoot in the 80s . The chaos of getting the dogs off the boat , waiting in the dark on the mud . Then a long day of intermittent bursts of teal and wigeon + an odd shoveler pintail or pintail . Arriving back at Sheerness in the pub for a quick pint and drive home . Oh to be young again . This Video is exactly as it was .

Lovely to hear about cooking them. Honour the food boys. Great vid!

[@olliepearcetennis]

My dad and I used to go wild fowling here with one of my dads friends Robert. Great times!!!

[@terrysimmons3808]

70 wild migrant salt marsh ducks shot ! FFS...! No need for it. Bad ambassador for a great sport.

[@crf50hugo1]

There is only one duck commander and he lives in the USA

[@widgeonteal7435]

A bag of 70 ducks is far too excessive, not a good lesson to youngsters. This is duck shooting, not wildfowling.

[@conl1555]

widgeon teal yea I know the shot a lot but the give it to mark for his reasranent

Nice to see a pump gun shot so well. First pump I’ve seen in quite a number of British videos. Your unlimited bag limits make my head explode with envy. Best wishes from Virginia, USA.

[@fieldsportstv]

Thank you

[@widgeonteal7435]

only one duck commander...Thanks God for that !

[@andrewtelford243]

40 wigeon and 30 teal between two men that's not wild fowling

[@simondane9905]

i know I'm kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new movies online?

[@yusufnash13]

@Simon Dane try FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

[@paulhawkins8872]

I'm from the states, do they have bag limits in the UK or is it up to the discretion of the landowner? It's so strange to me that you guys have no public hunting lands. Cheers

[@annabeltheunicorn9374]

There is no public land in the uk Paul. However you can shoot or fish between high and low water which is called the crown foreshore. Unfortunately to gain access most times you have to cross private land and thats ths rub. There are no limits on any game or fowl here and certainly no fish or game wardens as you guys have. In fact as long as you have a shot gun licence there is no checks or enforcement at all. In many ways our firearms laws are strict but in others not.

[@crazyferret9409]

Plus, there are limited species you can shoot. We can't take brent but have hundreds of thousands here each winter

[@mattyallen3396]

Interesting how its taken more seriously in Nz and the USA

[@darrenmurphy4420]

This is a great sport. Do you still post

[@fieldsportstv]

Sure do 🙂

[@giggergigger1]

He’s not a wild Fowler and he’s gobby he’d be a nightmare to be stuck in a hide with

[@crazyferret9409]

Knows his wildfowl though

[@Labs.Fishing.hunting]

Theres only one "Duck Commander", but good shooting guys well done

[@touficzaarour5022]

In my humble opinion the only UK duck commander is Tom Sykes...check his Sykes Media channel

[@iu2297]

Duck commander lol. What a guy ffs

[@75PFG]

Wouldn't be my cup of tea. Far to many artificial lights and industrial buildings. Wildfowling for me is getting away from all that to wild and desolate places. Plus to many ducks taken for my liking.

[@AdamDTaylor]

Fascinating, what is this island?

[@fieldsportstv]

Thanks for this - he wants to keep it a secret 🙂

[@AdamDTaylor]

@@fieldsportstv you're welcome, thank you for sharing 😀. When doe wildfowling season start and finish and how much does basic kit cost? (Excluding gun)

[@tinkandtory]

Duck season here in the US starts early this year! Blasting ducks by this time next week! Great video.

[@nickwhitwham1762]

You "blast" pests. You take a duck. Honour your quarry.

@@nickwhitwham1762 What a stupid thing to comment about on a six year old post.
