How to hunt wild ducks

Windy conditions can cause birds to flee quickly so it is best not to hunt in them. Some birds might also be scared off by hunters who are nearby.
It is important to know how many wild ducks you wish to hunt. If you don't know what kind of bird you're shooting, then you shouldn't shoot. You must ensure you have enough ammunition so you can take down as many birds or not.
If you end up killing many birds, it is important to wash and prepare the meat before you eat. It is best to immediately cook the meat, as it can dry quickly once you begin cooking it. After the meat has been cooked, take out any bones or feathers.

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.
