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. You should avoid hunting during windy conditions when the birds tend to go out of sight quickly. Also, if there are several hunters around, they might scare off some of the birds.
It is important to know how many wild ducks you wish to hunt. If you don’t know which type of bird your shooting is, you should not shoot. Make sure you have enough ammunition to take down whatever number of birds you want.
If you endanger many birds, you will need to clean and prepare your meat before you can eat it. You should cook the meat immediately as it will dry out quickly once it starts to cook. After the meat has been cooked, take out any bones or feathers.
Wild ducks are most often found near water. But, sometimes, you can see them flying through fields or woods. Because they fly low to ground, it makes them easy targets. If you're hunting wild ducks, it is important to remain hidden until you are close enough that you can make a shot. This means staying quiet and still while waiting for a chance to shoot.
