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. Avoid hunting in windy conditions as birds will quickly flee. A few hunters might be too much for some birds.

You should know the number of wild ducks you are hunting. You shouldn't shoot if you don't know the type of bird you are shooting. Make sure you have enough ammunition to take down whatever number of birds you want.

If you do end with killing many birds you will want to clean the meat and prepare it before you eat. 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 often live near water, but they can sometimes be seen flying through fields of woods or swamps. Their flight patterns are more open than others, and they can be easily spotted from the ground. You should keep your duck hunting adventures secret until you can get close enough for a shot. This means waiting patiently for the opportunity to shoot.
