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. Avoid hunting in windsy conditions, as the birds will flee very quickly. You should also avoid hunting with other hunters as they may scare some birds.

It is important to know how many wild ducks you wish to hunt. If you don’t know which type of bird your shooting is, you should not shoot. Be sure to have enough ammunition for as many birds and as many shots as you need.

If you do end up killing a lot of birds, you'll want to clean and prepare the meat before eating. You should cook the meat immediately as it will dry out quickly once it starts to cook. Once the meat has been cooked properly, remove any feathers and bones.

Wild ducks are most often found near water. But, sometimes, you can see them flying through fields or woods. Because they fly low to ground, it makes them easy targets. You should keep your duck hunting adventures secret until you can get close enough for a shot. It means that you should remain quiet while waiting to get a shot.
