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

When hunting wild ducks, make sure you know how many birds you want to shoot. You shouldn't shoot if you don't know the type of bird you are shooting. You should ensure that you have enough ammunition to kill as many birds as you wish.

If you do end with killing many birds you will want to clean the meat and prepare it before you eat. Because the meat dries quickly once it is cooked, it's best to prepare it immediately. After the meat has been cooked, take out any bones or feathers.

Wild ducks are usually found near water but can also be seen flying through fields, woods and swamps. They are often low-flying, making them easier targets. When hunting wild ducks, try to stay hidden until you get close enough to make a shot. It means that you should remain quiet while waiting to get a shot.
