How To
How to hunt wild ducks
The most common way to hunt wild ducks is to use decoys. Decoys can be used to hunt wild ducks. You should place the birds at a distance from your blind in order to view them from far away. Windy conditions are a bad time to hunt as the birds can quickly disappear. You might also be able to scare away some birds if you have several hunters nearby.
When hunting wild ducks, make sure you know how many birds you want to shoot. Don't shoot if it isn't clear what type of bird they are. Be sure to have enough ammunition for as many birds and as many shots as you need.
If you endanger many birds, you will need to clean and prepare your meat before you can eat it. It is best to immediately cook the meat, as it can dry quickly once you begin cooking it. Once the meat has been cooked properly, remove any feathers and bones.
Wild ducks can often be found close to water. However, they may also be seen flying through fields and woods. They 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 staying quiet and still while waiting for a chance to shoot.
