duck hunting
Wetland bird sport
Duck hunting is the sport or practice of pursuing and shooting wild ducks, typically with shotguns.
Hunters use decoys and calls to attract birds, often from blinds or boats in wetland areas.
The activity is regulated by seasonal limits and licensing: Duck hunting season opens in October.
It remains popular in rural areas and among waterfowl enthusiasts.
