Autumn hunting for ducks - when the chicks are already strong

Autumn hunting for ducks is the most common option for those who hold a rifle not so long ago. This bird lives mainly on fresh water, especially standing and overgrown with reeds or grass. The chicks of her hatch only in the spring. That's why the autumn hunt for ducks is officially permitted. The year 2013 was quite hot, so the legal shooting started from the end of August and lasted until the very end of November. At this time, young individuals have already grown stronger.

Duck - very careful and fast flying bird, which dives well. In the daytime, she hides, and at night swims out to more open places, flying for feeding on grain fields.

Autumn hunting for ducks begins at dawn. After the molt, drakes are put on a maid outfit, and the young grow on the wing. At this time, ducks make daily flights from the places of daytime to feeding and back. They dnyut they are in remote water bodies, in thickets of reeds and canes. At evening dawn they can fly to distant water bodies or fields, where there is more food. Early in the morning they return back, always following the same route. Therefore, seasoned hunters easily predict their appearance and have time to take their respective positions. It is better to wait for the birds near the pond, where they are during the day, as well as at feeding places and on flights.

The opening of the autumn duck hunting should begin with reconnaissance. Determining the routes of the flight of the bird and convenient places for stowing will make shooting as maximally as possible. If possible, it is very useful to arrange skradks with an open top for shooting in all directions.

However, in reed or reed thickets such a shelter is not needed.

In general, the autumn hunt for ducks from skrakes is somewhat difficult, since it is necessary to arrange in them in advance, and there is no guarantee that ducks can appear. Sometimes a person stays in his shelter for 24 hours.

Therefore, most often, autumn hunting for ducks is carried out with a dog. This method is practiced, as a rule, with such breeds of pug-dogs as kurtshaar or drachhaar, as well as spaniel or husky.

Since ducks, as a rule, do not allow the dog to stand, the work of the sniffer is to put them on the wing. The hunter moves slowly along the shore of the overgrown pond. His four-legged assistant is combing reed or reed thickets along the adjacent shallow water. After an ardent shot, she brings the trophy to the owner.

Autumn hunting for ducks, held with a dog, has the advantage: a four-legged friend is able to engage in combat with the podrankom. And then you can do without shooting: extraction will be in any case.

Another kind of fishing is from the approach. Can pass without a dog, but a two or three. One of the assistants extrudes the ducks from the support, and the shooter walks leisurely along the shore next to the reed beds. The shot is on the rise and is almost always effective.

This autumn duck hunt is not only interesting, but also prey, and less tedious, since it often occurs in the shallow reaches or in places with low vegetation. And this makes it easier for the hunter to move and shoot, and also to search for prey.
