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 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.
Know how many birds you want when hunting wild ducks. It is best to know which kind of bird you are hunting before you shoot. You must ensure you have enough ammunition so you can take down as many birds or not.
If you do end up killing a lot of birds, you'll want to clean and prepare the meat before eating. Because the meat dries quickly once it is cooked, it's best to prepare it immediately. Once the meat is cooked remove all bones and feathers.
Wild ducks often live near water, but they can sometimes be seen flying through fields of woods or swamps. 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. You should be quiet and patient while you wait for the chance to shoot.
