How To
How to hunt wild ducks
Decoys are one of the most popular methods to hunt wild ducks. 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. Windy conditions can cause birds to flee quickly so it is best not to hunt in them. You should also avoid hunting with other hunters as they may scare some birds.
You should know the number of wild ducks you are hunting. You shouldn't shoot if you don't know the type of bird you are shooting. 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 is best to immediately cook the meat, as it can dry quickly once you begin cooking it. Once the meat is cooked, remove any 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. You should keep your duck hunting adventures secret until you can get close enough for a shot. This means staying quiet and still while waiting for a chance to shoot.
