How To

How to hunt wild ducks

The most common way to hunt wild ducks is to use decoys. 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. You should also avoid hunting with other hunters as they may scare some birds.

When hunting wild ducks, make sure you know how many birds you want to shoot. Don't shoot if it isn't clear what type of bird they are. 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. You should cook the meat immediately as it will dry out quickly once it starts to cook. Once the meat is cooked, remove any bones and feathers.

Wild ducks are most often found near water. But, sometimes, you can see them flying through fields or woods. They fly low to the ground which makes them easier targets. You should keep your duck hunting adventures secret until you can get close enough for a shot. This means being quiet and still as you wait to take a shot.
