How To
How to hunt wild ducks
Decoys are the best way to hunt wild birds. You can use decoy birds that are live and place them at a distance from the blind to allow you to see them clearly from far away. Avoid hunting in windy conditions as birds will quickly flee. You should also avoid hunting with other hunters as they may scare some 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. It is important to have enough ammunition in your arsenal to shoot as many birds as possible.
If you do kill a lot of birds you will need to prepare the meat first. It is best not to wait until the meat is done cooking. Once the meat is cooked remove all bones and feathers.
Wild ducks are usually found near water but can also be seen flying through fields, woods and swamps. 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 being quiet and still as you wait to take a shot.
