How To
How to hunt wild ducks
Decoys are the most popular way to hunt wild ducks. Decoys can be used to hunt wild ducks. You should place the birds at a distance from your blind in order to view them from far away. Windy conditions can cause birds to flee quickly so it is best not to hunt in them. You should also avoid hunting with other hunters as they may scare some birds.
Know how many birds you want when hunting wild ducks. 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. Because the meat dries quickly once it is cooked, it's best to prepare it immediately. Once the meat is cooked, remove any bones and feathers.
Wild ducks can often be found close to water. However, they may also be seen flying through fields and woods. They are often low-flying, making them easier targets. Keep your distance from wild duck hunters until you are close enough to take a shot. This means waiting patiently for the opportunity to shoot.
