A hunting license may be obtained for disabled hunters who are unable to use firearms.

How to hunt wild ducks
Decoys are the most common method of hunting wild ducks. Decoys can be used to hunt wild ducks. You should place the birds at a distance from your blind in order to view them from far away. Windy conditions are a bad time to hunt as the birds can quickly disappear. You should also avoid hunting with other hunters as they may scare some birds.
It is important to know how many wild ducks you wish to hunt. It is best to know which kind of bird you are hunting before you shoot. You should ensure that you have enough ammunition to kill as many birds as you wish.
If you endanger many birds, you will need to clean and prepare your meat before you can eat it. It's best to cook the meat right away because it dries out very fast once you start cooking it. Remove any bones or feathers from the meat once it is done.
Wild ducks are most often found near water. But, sometimes, you can see them flying through fields or woods. Their flight patterns are more open than others, and they can be easily spotted from the ground. Try to keep wild duck hunting quiet until you reach a distance that allows you to make a shot. This means waiting patiently for the opportunity to shoot.
