How To
How to hunt wild Ducks
Decoys are the most common method of hunting 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. You should avoid hunting during windy conditions when the birds tend to go out of sight quickly. Also, if there are several hunters around, they might scare off some of the birds.
You should know the number of wild ducks you are hunting. It is best to know which kind of bird you are hunting before you shoot. You should ensure that you have enough ammunition to kill as many birds as you wish.
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. Remove any bones or feathers from the meat once it is done.
Wild ducks are often found near water, but sometimes they can be seen flying through fields, woods, and swamps. They fly low to the ground which makes them easier targets. When hunting wild ducks, try to stay hidden until you get close enough to make a shot. This means being quiet and still as you wait to take a shot.
