Everything about duck hunting is expensive these days.
A box of shells can buy you a day in prime pheasant country.
Uppity duck clubs on the river can cost you a couple of smallbore quail guns per year.
The good things are - ducks can be shot where there are ponds, lakes and rivers - no trips to windblowin' northern climes.
It is now the elite shooting sport - and you gotta pay to play.
Btw Chuck, there's not a chap that would agree with you about England being in Europe!
