10 Quick Duck Hunting Tips – Volume 1

1. Contented Birds On The Ice – When hunting ducks when ice is present, make sure to place contented decoys (i.e. sleepers, resters, shells) right on the edge of the ice near the water in front of or on the closest downwind side of your landing zone. When ice and open water are present, duck will often land in the water and get on the edge of the ice to conserve body heat. Contented or “no leg” shell decoys are extremely realistic under these conditions and are almost impossible for ducks in the air to ignore.

"I have been waterfowl hunting since I was 13. It's a sickness, which i'm not trying very hard to cure. I found your site just a month, or so, ago, and am enjoying it very much. I hope you keep up the great articles and videos, and update the site as often as possible. I've read, and re-read every page on here, and like I said, I'm loving what you have here!"

"The info you guys have built up on here is priceless. I got hooked on ducks and geese two years ago and don't know a whole lot about hunting techniques or strategies. This year I have had limited hunting outings as I'm in the military and been deployed allot, but using some of your suggestions, I have already seen improvements to my kill #'s."
