duck shooting

Hunting aquatic birds

Duck shooting is the hunting of wild ducks, typically with shotguns.

The activity is both sport and food procurement, conducted during regulated seasons in marshlands, lakes, and coastal areas.

Hunters often use decoys and blinds to attract and conceal themselves from the birds: We went duck shooting at dawn.
