ABSTRACT

The article provides tips on waterfowl hunting. The basics of duck hunting include decoys, calls, shotguns and shells, blinds, bracing weather and, most important, ducks to work. On late-season hunts it is often necessary to knock a hole in the ice for decoys. Always try to break the ice in large slabs and then slide them under the secure ice on the edges of the hole.
