We find a place for productive huntingThe duck sits in a swamp or other body of water into which I want to lure a Drake. So the place need to choose such, in which the hunter sitting in the tent will be a good review and the opportunity to shoot without hitting the duck.
The depth should allow for a distance of 15 – 20 meters from a hunting blind to hammer in the bottom of the peg for tying the ducks. Around should not be plants or snags, which may become tangled leash.
Installation of the shed
The hut is placed approximately 3 metres from the water. You can install it on the ground, but it is better to dig a hole depth of 80 centimeters, to impose its rim of excavated turf and top to build a hut.
Cover it with branches of plants typical for this area. In facing the water side have to do comfortable viewing and shooting holes. Inside for warmth can be felt twigs, hay or straw.
Devices for fixation of decoy
Duck tied a cord to the peg. The length of the peg depends on the depth of the reservoir. To the top of the peg is securely fastened a wooden platform with a diameter of 20 – 25 cm On a peg under the deck is put on sturdy floating ring that you can link from willow or take a hollow plastic from children’s toys. The ring should not be bright in color and free to rotate around the peg.
The duck leg should be made of leather or thick fabric the cuff – nogaku. She needs to be strong enough the duck could not remove, and comfortable enough not to RUB the bird’s leg. This is attached to the cuff is not heavy, but strong metal ring.
Planting decoy
A stake Assembly in a floating ring hammered into the bottom so that the wooden platform at its top was hidden under water for about 2 – 3 cm, then a tired duck will be able to climb on it to relax. Lace the leash should be long enough and sturdy, but easy. You need to bind duck to dawn. One end of the cord firmly tied to the ring on mohawke, the other to the ring on the peg that the cord is not wound onto the peg when ducks swim in a circle. Duck should not be hungry, otherwise it will feed and function poorly.
The luring and shooting
A good decoy should behave actively, move in a circle and screaming flying duck flocks. If the duck doesn’t go, then you can use a decoy imitating a quacking duck. If Drake turned to duck this call, “quack” decoy no longer need the bird didn’t recognize hypocrisy and flew off.
You need to shoot over water in years, or on the water immediately after landing, while the duck still swam close to duck so as not to offend her. The most suitable fraction for such hunting – number 7 and 6
