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. Windy conditions are a bad time to hunt as the birds can quickly disappear. A few hunters might be too much for some birds.
It is important to know how many wild ducks you wish to hunt. You shouldn't shoot if you don't know the type of bird you are shooting. It is important to have enough ammunition in your arsenal to shoot as many birds as possible.
If you end up killing many birds, it is important to wash and prepare the meat before you eat. It's best to cook the meat right away because it dries out very fast once you start cooking it. Once the meat has been cooked properly, remove any feathers and bones.
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. Keep your distance from wild duck hunters until you are close enough to take a shot. It means that you should remain quiet while waiting to get a shot.
