1. Tips and Tricks for Duck
Hunting
By: Jennie Hallowell

2. First you must gather your supplies
 Hunting license, State Duck Stamp, and Federal Duck Stamp
 Gun and proper ammunition
 Proper clothing for camouflage and weather
 Optional: Propane heaters for added warmth
 Boat to hunt from the water, or duck blind to hunt from land.
 Hunting guide for bag limits and legal birds to kill

3. Proper clothing for camouflage and
weather.
 Duck hunting takes place in the late
fall/ early winter. So warm clothes are
imperative. Gloves, toboggan, and
insulated underwear, to name a few.
 Ducks have excellent eye sight so
camouflage choice is imperative. (The
bibs shown here offer good
camouflage along with insulation for
warmth.)
 Can be purchased at stores that sell
hunting gear such as Cabela’s or
Dunham’s

4. Optional: Heaters for added warmth

5. Hunting License & Duck
Stamps
 Your hunting license can be
purchased through a local business
that provides hunting licenses, or by
visiting your states Division of Natural
Resources Website.
 State Duck stamps can be purchased
the same way as your hunting license
and at the same time, should you so
choose. (However, you must call the
1-800 number on your hunting license
and take a survey to receive a 10-digit
number before you can legally hunt
water fowl)
 Federal Duck stamps are available at
your local United States Post Office.
(To the right is a picture of a Federal
Duck Stamp. You must sign the Stamp
in the stamp area)

6. Proper Gun and Ammunition
 The gun of choice would be a 12-
gauge shot gun
 Ammunition of choice is 12-gauge
steel shot. (Can be purchased at any
store that sells guns or ammunition.)

7. Needs for hunting from water or land.
 All though hunting from the water is
the best option, it is the most
expensive. You must have:
 A boat
 Boating license
 Proper lighting
 Hunting from land is an excellent
option that costs a great deal less.
 The only downfall is if you are
hunting over water, it is difficult to
retrieve your duck unless you have a
hunting dog or kayak.
 The blind shown below can provide
added camouflage.

8. Hunting Regulations & Bag
Limits
 Duck hunting regulations include:
 Hunting dates
 Daylight hour rules
 Knowing the bag limit (number of
ducks you can take in one day)
 Legal breeds of ducks to take
 How many male and female ducks
you can take each day.
 These regulations are for Ohio
