duck hunt

Waterfowl pursuit sport

Duck hunt is the pursuit and shooting of wild ducks, typically with shotguns in wetland areas during designated seasons.

Hunters use decoys and duck calls to attract birds.

The term gained broader recognition from the 1984 Nintendo video game *Duck Hunt*, where players aimed a light gun at ducks flying across the screen.
