How To
How to hunt wild Ducks
Decoys are the most popular way to hunt wild ducks. The best method is to use live decoy birds and set them up at a distance from your blind so you can see them from afar. You should avoid hunting during windy conditions when the birds tend to go out of sight quickly. Some birds might also be scared off by hunters who are nearby.
It is important to know how many wild ducks you wish to hunt. If you don't know what kind of bird you're shooting, then you shouldn't shoot. Be sure to have enough ammunition for as many birds and as many shots as you need.
If you endanger many birds, you will need to clean and prepare your meat before you can eat it. It is best not to wait until the meat is done cooking. Once the meat is cooked, remove any bones and feathers.
Wild ducks are often found near water, but sometimes they can be seen flying through fields, woods, and swamps. They usually fly low to the ground, which makes them easier targets. When hunting wild ducks, try to stay hidden until you get close enough to make a shot. You should be quiet and patient while you wait for the chance to shoot.
