How To

How to hunt wild ducks

Decoys are the best way to hunt wild birds. 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 windy conditions as birds will quickly flee. 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. 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 kill a lot of birds you will need to prepare the meat first. You should cook the meat immediately as it will dry out quickly once it starts to cook. Once the meat is cooked, remove any bones and feathers.

Wild ducks are often found near water, but sometimes they can be seen flying through fields, woods, and swamps. They usually fly low to the ground, which makes them easier targets. Try to keep wild duck hunting quiet until you reach a distance that allows you to make a shot. It means that you should remain quiet while waiting to get a shot.
