How To
How to hunt wild ducks
Decoys are the most common method of hunting wild ducks. 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. Also, if there are several hunters around, they might scare off some of the birds.
Make sure to count the birds that you intend to shoot when hunting wild ducks. If you don't know what kind of bird you're shooting, then you shouldn't 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. 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. 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. This means waiting patiently for the opportunity to shoot.
