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.
Make sure to count the birds that you intend to shoot when hunting wild ducks. Don't shoot if it isn't clear what type of bird they are. You must ensure you have enough ammunition so you can take down as many birds or not.
If you do end with killing many birds you will want to clean the meat and prepare it 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 is cooked remove all bones and feathers.
Wild ducks are usually found near water but can also be seen flying through fields, woods and swamps. They usually fly low to the ground, which makes them easier targets. If you're hunting wild ducks, it is important to remain hidden until you are close enough that you can make a shot. This means being quiet and still as you wait to take a shot.
