How To
How to hunt wild Ducks
The most common way to hunt wild ducks is to use decoys. Live decoys are the best way to hunt wild ducks. They should be placed at a distance away from your blind, so you can view them from afar. Avoid hunting in windy conditions as birds will quickly flee. Some birds might also be scared off by hunters who are nearby.
Know how many birds you want when hunting wild ducks. It is best to know which kind of bird you are hunting before you shoot. You should ensure that you have enough ammunition to kill as many birds as you wish.
If you endanger many birds, you will need to clean and prepare your meat before you can eat it. 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 often found near water, but sometimes they can be seen flying through fields, woods, and swamps. Their flight patterns are more open than others, and they can be easily spotted from the ground. Keep your distance from wild duck hunters until you are close enough to take a shot. This means staying quiet and still while waiting for a chance to shoot.
