Hunting Wood Ducks 101

Besides making a great meal, wood ducks will challenge both your hunting and wing shooting skills. Compared to other ducks their habitat preferences and food sources are quite different. In this article we are going to share with you this information along with techniques you can use to bring more woodies home for your table.

Wood Duck Hunting Locations

While many hunters will think of flooded timber for wood ducks, wooded creeks, bayous, sloughs and small rivers will also offer some very good shooting. These locations also serve as flyways for wood ducks are very well suited for pass shooting or jump shooting. We have also had some great wood duck hunts over decoys in marsh settings during the early season. Marsh settings are typically roosting areas and will usually be the best at sunset.

Here are some sample photos that will better describe the habitat that will and probably won't hold woodies.

"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."
