How to hunt wild ducks
Decoys are the best way to hunt wild birds. It is best to use live decoys birds. Set them up far from your blind so that you can easily see them. Avoid hunting in windsy conditions, as the birds will flee very quickly. Some birds might also be scared off by hunters who are nearby.
