4 Duck Hunting Tips For Beginners

Duck hunting can be a fun and exciting time whether you are a beginner or a well-seasoned hunter! Here are four duck hunting tips to help those who are just starting out this season. 

1. Hunt In The Swamps. Swamps are a great place for duck hunting in the colder months. When lakes freeze up, try hunting around the swamps. Ducks are known to feed off of acorns during the wintertime. 

2. Disguise Yourself. It’s important that you match your camouflage as close to your hunting spot as best you can. Ducks have incredible eyesight, and if you aren’t wearing camouflage that blends in, you might as well not be wearing any camo! 

3. Get Familiar With Your Location And Gear.  Make sure you are familiar with the area you will be hunting as well as the gear you will be bringing. Sharpen your duck hunting skills by practicing with your gun, different chokes, and ranges a few days before you go hunting. 

4. Take Your Time. Be mindful about taking your time when hunting birds. Not only does it require a lot of patience, but taking a wrong shot can scare ducks away from your hunting spot. A tip for beginners is to aim for the last duck since it gives you the most chance to hit your target.
