> Wild ducks live in all reservoirs almost throughout Russia, even in those reservoirs where there are many people, ducks still live and breed, you probably saw wild ducks more than once fishing or when you went swimming, the Hermit, as he will live in wilderness, near water bodies, will observe a lot of this free "floating meat", but how to catch this meat if there is no gun, of course you can try with a stone or a slingshot, but most likely you will just scare them away without getting anything and stay hungry and angry.

Here is a really working way to catch ducks on impromptu vents, the meaning is as follows. We take that realties that do not drown will be heavy enough and will not cause suspicion in ducks, for example, a small log with twigs. Next, we tie a fishing line with hooks of the 5th 6th to this log No. 1, the line should be as thin as possible, but still strong enough to withstand the duck, which will desperately resist when you remove it.

Leashes can be tied both to a log and to branches, the length of the leashes can be different, three meters on average, the longer we go into a pond or swim in a boat and set our log on the water where the ducks gather, and put a nozzle on the hooks, the nozzle is live fish or bread or small frogs, we tie the NOZZLE so that if it is alive, it will be in the water, but at the same time it will not swim anywhere and the duck will notice it, for this we make notches on a branch or log and clamp the fishing line about 20-30 cm from baits, so that the bait itself does not pull itself out of the clamp, and the duck, while eating, can effortlessly.

If the fish is dead, then it is not necessary to do so, just plant it and throw it into the water, it will not drown, the duck will find it and eat it, but remember that the live bait itself attracts the duck, as it moves and creates movement on the water. If you use bread, then it must be hung above the water, on those branches that stick out of the water, but so that the duck can easily take it off and swallow it with the water. To increase the efficiency of such fishing, you can make more than ten such devices, in different places and tie more baits, and then catching can go in whole flocks, and what to do with meat, I think you’ll figure it out - boil stews, maybe pickle, or maybe in the village for something trade or sell.

THE MAIN THING IS NOT TO BE DISCOURAGED AND THEN YOU WILL LIVE BETTER THAN CITY RESIDENTS AND DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING!

HINGES AND SAMOLONS FOR SUPPLEMENTING THE HERMIT IDEAL OPTION

Loops and traps for catching small animals and large forest dwellers are an affordable and easy way to get food and animal fur, and other types of animal products. Many people think that this method of catching is just pampering, and hunting with a gun is much better, but in practice with a gun it is rather a sport, since current hunting involves tracking down an animal, chasing it and, as a result, an accurate hit, which requires training and at least minimal shooting skills.

Also, such a hunt requires a gun and all permits for carrying weapons and for shooting certain types of animals in a certain period, and even if it hunts in deserted spaces, the sounds of a shot are carried for kilometers around and you will still be interested in the local supervision services "FISH HATCH" and the district police officer .

And hunting for snares is a secretive silent way of catching an animal, and at the same time it is much easier and more effective than hunting with a gun. game and they are widely used by hunting farms, hunters, and this is a favorite way of catching an animal for poachers. By the way, in general, catching an animal with traps is prohibited everywhere with rare exceptions, these are catching quotas for the indigenous population and hunting farms.

Due to the fact that such methods cause irreparable damage to nature, and quickly reduce the number of animals in this area. That is why for a hermit or a resident of a remote area, samolov is an ideal option, since samolov is made from improvised means and is quite simple to master.

When installing, so as not to give yourself away and your craft, do not put loops where people can pass, they can detect traps and smash it all over the district, and then, a meeting with the control authorities is provided for you, or they themselves can fall into your traps and be crippled and then you will not envy.

The traps represent a wide variety of designs for different animals, I will not describe the details of the manufacture and installation of these traps, since this information can be easily found in books or the Internet, but I will write a rough idea of ​​the traps.

Self-catchers are traps - metal and wooden products for capturing and holding an animal, as well as loops, this product is made of metal wire or other thin, soft, but simple materials, the principle of operation - the beast falls into the loop, it is tightened and does not allow the beast to free itself, these are pits with sharp stakes or a net inside - the beast falls into the pit and runs into stakes or gets tangled in the net, and there are many variations and a method of manufacture and installation.

A chapter from my book, The Basics of Survival.
In this chapter, we will talk not only about catching ducks, but also about hunting other near-water birds. In the warm season near the reservoirs, the highest concentration of animals and birds in particular. Migratory ducks, geese, waders appear on the reservoirs. Arriving at a watering place or to collect pebbles, local, sedentary species of birds. Again, on the reservoirs you can hunt, fish and harvest plant foods at the same time or along the way.
Let's start with the fact that ducks, geese, cormorants, pelicans, herons, flamingos and other water birds can differ from each other in size, shape, lifestyle, etc. In this case, all these near-water birds are of interest to us mainly from a gastronomic point of view. Therefore, without going into scientific classification, we will divide all near-water birds according to the level of edibility. Ducks (and geese) are diving and ordinary. In diving species, the beak is sharper and the tail of a bird sitting on the water looks down, and in ordinary ones it looks up. All diving species feed mainly on fish and therefore their meat may taste like fish. Fish-eating birds are usually not plucked to reduce odor, but skinned and removed from them. subcutaneous fat. Sometimes ordinary ducks also eat fish, and in order to find out in advance whether poultry meat smells like fish or not, they open their beak and sniff the smell from the mouth "". The smell of fish will indicate possible variant pre-culinary processing.
Waders of all breeds and sizes usually taste good, if sometimes a bit dry. But nevertheless, all near-water birds require sufficient boiling or roasting, as they can be infected with parasites that are dangerous to humans.
For waders walking along the shallows, fences with loops in the aisles are built across the coast (to the water). And it is better to build trapping, covered courtyards with cone passages. Cone passages are about the same as in fishing tops or muzzles. Or the entrances may resemble something like primitive labyrinths. Birds, for the most part, go directly or where the path indicates, they themselves usually do not think of detours. Birds, having fallen into a trap, try to get out along the shortest path, and the hunter must use these features. At the same time, birds, according to the level of their intelligence, should not be considered complete idiots, their unpredictability, often well, very reasonable behavior, can leave you without prey and dinner.
Exactly the same hunting yards, of the appropriate size, but already on the water they put on ducks and geese. Guide fences are placed from the courtyards in convenient directions. Trapping yards can be placed both on water and on land. With bait and without.
There is such a trap for birds, called an earthen stupa. A conical hole breaks out in the ground, up to a meter deep and at the top with a diameter of half a meter. A lid is hung over the pit so that the bird, stepping on the lid, falls into this pit. These mortars can be used both in the aisles of fences, and separately with bait. By the way, such trapping mortars are made from poles and pegs and above the ground for catching upland birds. There is also a variety of wicker, portable stupas, they are also used to catch others, up to songbirds.
Catching birds alive helps to avoid a whole bunch of problems. Superfluous and inedible can be released, or left for later, without worrying about canning.
Ducks, geese and other waterfowl are attracted to any floating objects on which the birds can dry their wings and rest. Based on this, traps with falling lids are built, like traps for upland game. A similar trap is woven in the form of a basket with a false lid and fixed on float logs. A duck (or a goose), sitting on a false cover, falls into the trap and attracts other ducks with its cries, which can also fall into the trap.
The construction of live traps, hunting yards and fences takes a lot of time. For more efficient fishing, simpler traps, loops and hook tackle are used. Loops for geese and ducks are placed in narrow passages between grass bushes and bushes, with the calculation of catching birds with a loop by the neck and legs. Or they put loops on narrow strips of the coast between grass and water with the calculation of catching (herons) by the legs.
For a person who finds himself in an extreme situation, it makes sense to catch birds at watering places. Sometimes near huge reservoirs (and far from large reservoirs too) there are puddles-lakes that attract birds. It is on these puddles that the bulk of non-waterfowl flies. Such puddles are interesting in themselves for observers of naturalists. Birds fly in an endless stream to the watering place exactly to this puddle, and not to the shore of a nearby stretching reservoir. Perhaps the salinity is different or something else is unknown. What kind of birds you will not see there.
At watering places for birds, traps are set according to the type of these birds and their capabilities. In such places, networks with the appropriate cell size work well. Nets are better than loops in terms of catchability and small pieces of nets are often more convenient than loops. Nets can be adapted for both neck and leg fishing. A fine-mesh del from a thick thread can be adapted for guide fences and the construction of hunting yards. Long fishing nets can also be placed in places of night fattening ducks, geese and waders. Nets can be placed both vertically and laid horizontally on grass or water (without weights). Or L figuratively, half on the ground horizontally, and the other half vertically. Options for every taste.
A special conversation about catching birds with hook tackle. You can use this method of catching birds only in really extreme cases. The essence of such fishing is the same as catching fish. On the fishing hook or a needle sharpened on both sides, of the appropriate size, a bait is placed: a piece of fish, meat, bread and a bird, having swallowed the bait, is caught. In order for the bird to suffer less and not scare away other birds with its attempts to free itself, a load is tied to the fishing line just above the hook. The duck, having swallowed the bait, pulls off the load from a special raft and the load (stone) pulls the bird's head under the water, where the duck quickly chokes.
A few words about the characteristics of waterfowl. If for ducks, especially for teals, even any large puddle is desirable, then geese and other large birds splash down and land only against the wind. And no matter how attractive the body of water is, if the wind is unsuccessful for their landing, the approach of large birds is not worth waiting for. All waterfowl are well lured by stuffed animals (profiles) of their own kind. This is understandable, where the brothers sit should be safe. The more dummies (or profiles) the better. Waterfowl have very good eyesight and hearing. It is almost impossible to sneak up on a sure shot (40-50m) to a flock of geese. Waterfowl are very cautious and...(!) curious. An unfamiliar and incomprehensible object of the same geese can lure better than a flock of real geese.
Ducks and geese often fly at night to meadows and fields for night grazing. They usually fly to the same places, along the same routes. Once upon a time in the old days they caught birds flying for fattening with huge nets hanging between two tall trees at the place of flight. Geese and large ducks take off against the wind, and if there is a clearing in the forest on the way to take off, then this is where the birds were just starting to gain height and set these nets.
Sometimes nets are placed at a low altitude above a small river or stream and on motor boats they drive the ducks that have taken off into the net. But this case is clearly not about those who find themselves in a deplorable situation and need only a piece of bread (without butter).
Geese are one of the fastest birds in flight. Geese also hold a record for altitude, about 7000 meters above sea level and for frost resistance, about 70 degrees below zero. Geese are the last to fly south in the fall and are the first to return to the northern lands in the spring. A flock of geese, usually in a wedge, flies noisily, a continuous cackle, and at first you hear such a flock and only then you see it. The bigger the flock, the bigger the cackle. by sounds and appearance you can determine what kind of birds are in the flock. Swans and ducks fly almost silently. Ducks flutter their wings in flight. Herons in flight throw their heads back and croak, cranes stretch their necks forward and coo. Flying pelicans rarely flap their wings and look more like a picture of prehistoric, flying pterodactyls.
Geese raise their offspring in pairs, while ducks are different. The drake can break the eggs in the clutch, and peck the chicks, and will not allow the duck to sit on the eggs if he sees it. Therefore, spring shooting of duck drakes within reasonable limits is not only not harmful, but even useful. Nature seems to have taken care of the well-being of the duck with ducklings, and while the duck is sitting on the eggs, male drakes begin to molt. They lose their feathers so much that they can't even fly. The molting of drakes and unmarried ducks lasts almost a month, all this time the birds hide in swampy fortifications. A duck (with ducklings) does not shed and can fly all the time. Different types Ducks make their nests in different ways. Some build nests on the banks of water bodies, others away from water bodies. Some on the ground, others on hills, bumps, in hollows of trees and in crevices of rocks.
Geese molt too, and almost without exception. They also cannot fly during molting. If, scaring off enemies from children, one of the pair cannot take off, the second one will not fly either, even to save his life.
An interesting way to catch ducks and geese for drunken bait. On the routes of the spring-autumn migration of birds there are places where flocks of birds rest. Or places of night fattening of birds. Such places for local hunters are well known to ordinary hunters. running hunts with a gun, for some reason, unsuitable. There they lay out treats for them: bread, grain or peas soaked in vodka, moonshine or mash. Wash thickets are also suitable, especially on berries and fruits. And it’s easier and cheaper to specially put such a mash specifically for birds. Birds drunk from such a treat go to the hunter. The main thing here is to come for prey in time. Birds quickly get drunk, but quickly sober up. For a slow hunter, a bird, without any thanks for a free drink and a snack, will simply fly away.
A special warning for duck lovers for free in city ponds. City ducks feed on landfills, city cesspools and other unseemly places. In a day, one duck can visit a dozen feeding "" places and yours, clear pond may turn out to be accidental. Catching and eating such birds is dangerous for your own life and the health of your loved ones.
Think carefully before you start waterfowl hunting in suburban areas.

Wild ducks can be found in many water bodies. This is the traditional prey of hunters. But mallards are not always killed - you can catch a wild duck alive and make it a bait. Sometimes birds are taken home and kept on farms. There are several methods of catching that keep birds alive, and sometimes health.

How to catch a wild duck for breeding

These birds were caught alive back in Ancient Russia. Since then, little has changed. The principles of duck hunting without a gun remained the same. Today, they simply use more advanced materials and devices.

With hooks

Hunters love inhumane methods. Hook fishing is popular. Do the following:

1. Looking for the right body of water. Choose a convenient place and some snag.
2. Prepare a trap. Fishing hooks No. 5, No. 6 are suitable. They are attached to a strong and inconspicuous (transparent, colorless) fishing line.
3. The bait is put on the hook. The best option is a frog or a fish. Crumb of bread, lard and so on are also suitable. Although in this case it is necessary that the bait remains on the surface.
4. Sometimes they make several traps with fishing line different lengths. This increases the chances.
5. Tie a fishing line to a snag.
6. The slashed ducks actively resist. A small snag often floats away. They imperceptibly fasten it to the shore with a rope or set an anchor.
7. Hiding on the shore.

Hook fishing always injures ducks. Birds get injured both when trying to escape and when a person takes out the hook. At least the duck's tongue is injured. There are more serious injuries, sometimes - death.

There is less harm when the hunter constantly monitors the process, quickly and accurately removes the hook.

Trap

To maintain the health of ducks, other methods are used. These include numerous traps. For example, they offer the bird to dry the feathers, to feast on the bait:

1. Build a raft from two logs. They are fastened and tied.
2. Between them, a basket with a hinged lid is installed, which itself closes again after opening. The trap is masked - sprinkled with earth, twigs.
3. They lower the raft into a pond or other body of water.
4. The duck wants to dry its wings, to refresh itself with bait. She lands on the lid, falls into the basket and is trapped.

The trap should be checked frequently. Captive and forgotten ducks can die of starvation or become the prey of a predator.

Sometimes a trap in the form of a small cone is used. It resembles a labyrinth. Works like this:

1. The wild duck eats the bait and gets inside.
2. The hunter is nearby, so the bird does not have time to find a way out of the labyrinth.

silky

Since ancient times, another simple method of catching ducks has been used. These are well-known snares or snares. You will need a rope and a stick (wood).

You can successfully catch ducks in the former riverbeds. Do the following:

1. The end of the rope is attached to a stick or peg.
2. Make a self-tightening loop in the middle. They're thrown to the ground.
3. The second end of the rope is attached to the spacer.
4. A bait connected to a spacer is placed in the loop.
5. Hiding and waiting.

• wild duck pulling food;
• the spacer flies off;
• the rope straightens out, and the trap tightens the leg.

loops

The next method of catching ducks will require almost no materials. For loops, only a rope is needed. However, you can not do without hunting knowledge and skills. The person will need:

• the ability to navigate the terrain well;
• knowledge of the habits of wild ducks;
• patience, readiness to lie in ambush for a long time.

Use the direction of the wind. This is necessary for the correct installation of the loops and your own disguise.

Hinges are installed like this:

1. Take a strong rope. Make a loop that can be quickly tightened.
2. Set the trap in a place where wild ducks often visit.
3. The bait is placed in the middle.
4. They hide. The wind is taken into account so that the wild bird does not smell the human smell.

When the duck steps into the trap, the hunter tightens the loop on the foot. They do it "strongly, but carefully." Sharpness matters. If you overdo it, you can break the paw of a wild duck.

This device has a modification. The end of the rope is thrown over the branch. This helps to catch flying wild birds.

Several other ways to get a duck alive

There are also less common fishing methods:

1. Caught females attract drakes from the wild. Sometimes a mixture of wild and domestic ducks is used. Often, drakes fly right into the farmer's yard. It is not difficult to take a male alive in this situation. The flight feathers on the wings are immediately shortened to the prisoner.
2. They collect eggs and hatch ducklings on the farm. Nests are sought in swamps, in warm reservoirs, floodplains. There they examine hills, bumps, small trees. April and May are best.
3. Catching little ducklings. They do this, for example, with a piece of net in a pond. Sometimes they steal from the nest when the parents are away.
4. Wild ducks often walk in the same places with almost the whole family. On the way, a box, a cage, a basket are installed. Raise the edge and put a peg with a rope. They put bait under the trap and wait. When the prey is under the box, the rope is pulled. So often they catch several wild ducks: a female with offspring.
5. Use fishing nets, rope and 4 pegs. Pull, fasten. They throw bait. When wild ducks gather under the net, they pull a rope tied to a central peg. He falls, and the net covers the prey.
6. Traps. This method of fishing is dangerous for prey by injuries. To reduce them, use traps made of wood without sharp teeth. Such devices are sold in hunting stores. Traps must be fastened with pegs.
7. Hypnotic. Mixed with food and thrown where wild ducks often appear. Observe the dosage. The action begins within 2-3 minutes after swallowing the food. Sleep lasts for several hours.

DIY wild duck trap

To catch these birds alive, no complex devices are required. Most duck traps are made by hand: fishing line with a hook, loops, and more.

Many interesting and effective devices have been invented. There are favorites in different parts of the world. For example, in Asia they use such a trap for wild ducks:

1. Look for a flexible not thin rod. They bend in an arc and stick into the ground. You can set up an ambush in shallow water, at the place where wild ducks come ashore. The diameter of the resulting arc is 30–50 cm.
2. A thin and flexible young tree is found nearby. The original is bamboo. We have suitable, for example, its analogue for fishing rods - hazel. You can not look for a tree, but firmly stick your stick.
3. Bend the stem. Tie a rope to the end.
4. Find a small stick about 15–20 cm long.
5. Tie it with the same rope. The distance between this stick and the flexible stem is about 20 cm. The second end of the rope remains free.
6. A small tied reed is wound around an arc. The top end rests on it.
7. To prevent the flexible tree from pushing this stick out ahead of time, you need a mount. Its role is played by another reed. In length, it is slightly larger than the diameter of the arc. Installed on it parallel to the ground from the side opposite the tree. At the same time, the lower part of the stick is placed on the resulting spacer. The upper one rests on the arc.
8. When done neatly, the pieces hold together. The tree trunk is tilted. He is assigned the role of a compressed spring.
9. On a stick parallel to the ground, put a few more across. This is the "scaffold" for the duck. Here she walks free in last time.
10. Take the other end of the rope and make a self-tightening loop. Size - large: approximately with a stuck arc.
11. Put a loop on top of the "scaffold" of the sticks.
12. They throw bait, for example, rice, millet, corn.

1. A wild duck comes for food and steps on the "scaffold".
2. The equilibrium of the system is disturbed. The flexible trunk springs, is released and pulls the rope.
3. The loop is tightened on the paw.

Catching a duck alive is not that difficult. For hunting, they stock up on patience and simple or cunning traps. Before setting the trap, you can feed the bird. On the paths and at the entrance to the water, grain is poured. If you plan to use the caught duck for further breeding, it is better to use the most humane methods of catching.

For those who want to hunt ducks without using weapons, the question arises of how to catch a duck without a gun. It is known that drakes respond well to dummies of ducks, which have the maximum similarity with wild ones. Therefore, you can use 3 ways to organize the capture. How to catch a wild duck on a hook.
The most risky is the method of catching on a hook. The insidiousness of this method lies in the fact that while pulling the hook out of the duck, you can damage the bird. Therefore, this method must be carried out carefully.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. A reservoir is found where there are a large number of wild ducks;
2. On the shore we find a tree lying on the ground or part of it with branches;
3. You will need a thin, strong fishing line, it should not be visible in the water, but at the same time it must withstand the weight and resistance of the caught bird;
4. Hooks of size 5-6 are attached to the fishing line, on which the bait is put on;
5. All this is fixed on a tree or part of it, which was found on the shore;
6. Fish or frogs are suitable for bait big size. It is important that the bait moves and attracts attention;
7. If there is no bait, you can use bread or lard. Such a bait is hung on driftwood branches;
8. Several lines are attached with bait of various sizes, just in case;
9. The snag must be firmly tied to the shore so that the duck caught on the hook does not drag it to the middle of the lake or to another inconvenient place;
10. Therefore, a snag is tied with a rope for any object, or a heavy anchor can be used.

Of course, this method does not guarantee that the bird will not injure itself with the hook in an attempt to escape from it. Therefore, they watch the process from the shore and after the duck is caught, it is removed.

How to trap a wild duck

This method is more complicated, but is well suited if you need to catch a whole and unharmed bird. The duck trap can have a different structure. You can give the duck an island to rest.

For this:

1. Two logs are fastened, on top of which a mesh basket is installed;
2. It is attached to the log over the cover;
3. The basket is constructed in such a way as to have a lid that can open under the weight of the duck and fall inward, and the lid would fall into place.

Also duck can be lured with food. For this, a structure with an entrance like a labyrinth is used so that the duck that gets there does not have time to get out until you catch it. Delicious treats are placed inside.

How to catch a duck in snares or loops

For those who know how to disguise themselves well, you can use a similar method for hunting. This does not require large costs and effort. Craftsman loop that can be tightened. It puts a treat in it. It remains to wait until the duck arrives and starts eating at this moment it is necessary to pull the end of the rope so that the loop captures the duck.

In almost all water bodies you could see wild ducks, be it a park or just a river, even people are not a hindrance to birds. You have probably seen wild ducks more than once when going fishing or just on the lake. So, imagine you came fishing to a small river and see how a fat duck takes off from the reeds in front of your nose in an autumn-like way. And then you begin to regret that you do not have a gun at hand, because you would so like fresh game. It does not matter, there are several ways to catch a bird without the help of a weapon, we will now tell you about some of them and clearly show them on the video.

Duck hunting is a very exciting activity that requires a lot of patience. As has been customary for a long time, when hunting for a bird, people used various kinds of baits, decoy game, traps, traps and much more. However, how to catch a duck without using a gun?

First you need to find the area where the duck can be located, these are most often reservoirs, or swamps. At night, she often goes ashore in order to clean her feathers, and leaves behind traces and droppings, by which in the morning it is easy to find the place of the bird's overnight stay. Now you need to be patient and wait for the right moment.

Of course, it’s easier to take a slingshot or just a stone and shoot it at a duck, but this method will only scare away the whole bird and will not bring any result. It is better to use a hundred proven methods. The most common of these is hook fishing.

Hook hunting directly

This option is ideal for fishermen who are unlucky with catching fish, but do not want to return home empty-handed. The most important thing is that you already have all the accessories at your fingertips, which ones are shown in the video, and you don’t need to carry anything extra with you. Hunting a duck without a gun with a hook is a more humane way to get a trophy, and you will get a lot of pleasure from the process.

Stage 1

For fishing with a hook, we need the following items:

Everything is very simple, if you have the above items at hand, then we copy the method fishing. We choose some kind of stump on the shore of the lake, put a brick on it or another no less heavy object. Then we tie a fishing line with hooks to it, the usual one, which, for example, you use constantly when fishing. After, we take a knife and cut out thin pegs up to half a meter long. It is desirable that the hooks be made of good strong steel, in otherwise they just bend or break.

Stage 2

We bait a pre-prepared bait on the hook, as shown in the video, it can be purchased or caught fish fry with your own hands, you can also use fish giblets, experts also advise a piece of lard as bait. We disguise ourselves and wait until our bird comes up for a walk.

So, the bird swallows our bait and the only thing left is to pull out and remove the duck from the hook. If you do not have a hook at hand, then it does not matter, you can use an ordinary button. Just like in the previous version, attach the bait and wait, the effect is the same. For getting best result we advise you to make more of these traps, so the chance to catch a bird increases. You can catch a wild duck in another very interesting way.

Fishing with a hinged lid

This method is more complicated, but it is ideal if you need to catch a bird intact and not crippled. So, we need to attract the bird in this way, offer him a comfortable way to dry his feathers. D

To do this, you need to follow a series of steps:

1. You need to find a few logs and fasten them together.
2. Put a basket on the logs and attach it.
3. The top of the basket should have an easy-to-open lid with a reverse mechanism.
4. We pour earth on the lid, you can also put food.
5. A bird perching on your rig cover falls through and the duck is trapped without any damage.

With a loop

The third method is less common and is already used by avid hunters. If you are such, then in order to catch a wild duck you must be able to hide well, determine the direction of the wind and lie in wait. Absolutely not expensive method of hunting according to your requests.

Make a tight loop, and in the center put your favorite bird bait - corn. Then just wait for the duck to start eating, pull the end of the rope sharply so that the loop wraps around the duck, all your prey is in your hands.

Such principles of catching wild ducks will be useful for both beginners and experienced hunters. Since even they can find themselves in wild conditions, for example, without a gun, these methods will help them not to be left in the forest without prey. Now you, our reader, know all the secrets, so feel free to go to the nearest rates and practice your knowledge. Good luck with your unarmed wild duck hunting.

Methods for catching ducks with bare hands

For most modern people hunting from a means of subsistence has long turned into an element of a classic set of features by which the so-called. "a real man". For them, hunting is not only a way to spend time and diversify the dinner table, but also an opportunity to experience excitement and demonstrate a number of qualities: endurance, endurance, patience, courage and ingenuity. The latter qualities are especially valuable when hunting without the use of a gun - for example, duck.

The need to hunt a duck without a gun can be very different: this is a situation in which you find yourself in the wilderness where you need to somehow soak yourself, and the need to mate a wild drake with a domestic duck to renew blood, and, finally, a hermit lifestyle ... An experienced person, perhaps, will cope with these tasks effortlessly, but a person who is accustomed to a completely different environment or is just starting to lead a certain life will certainly have a hard time. However, patience, determination and perseverance, as you know, can work wonders.

The most common are three methods of such hunting:

1. on the hook.
2. using a trap.
3. in snares or whips.

Catching a duck on a hook

This method is risky in that the duck can be damaged when the hook is removed, so it must be used carefully. The technology imitates fishing:

1. to begin with, one should notice a reservoir rich in wild ducks, and on it - a place, preferably such that there is a small but branched snag. In the absence of driftwood, any stump will do. Choosing a place most often visited by wild ducks is not difficult due to the amount of droppings and feathers that they leave after their overnight stay.
2. purchase a thin and strong fishing line that would be invisible in the water, but could withstand the battle with a duck.
3. attach no more than five or six hooks to the fishing line, put the bait on them and fix it on the snag so that it is visible and does not drown. A snag should also be tied so that the caught duck cannot escape with it. If you are using not a snag, but the aforementioned stump, you need to stock up on a brick, a large stone or any heavy object to press the fishing line against the stump. Bread crumb, pieces of lard, fish giblets are suitable as bait; ideal option - live bait in the form of small fish or frogs, capable of fluttering to attract the attention of a future victim. You can make not one, but several of these lines to increase your chances of a successful hunt.
4. then hide in a secluded place and wait for the duck to swallow the bait, and then free it from the hook as soon as possible so that it does not have time to get hurt. When rescuing a duck, it should be taken into account that it is a strong bird and can easily escape from hands, so you need to hold it tightly. It may even be more correct to catch a duck on a hook not alone, but together with a partner.

If there is no hook at hand, you can use a regular button to which the bait is attached. Experienced hunters say that the effect is the same.

Using traps and loops

Using a trap is a safer and more humane way to get an intact bird, but also more difficult. Traps are different. The following method is very popular:

1. several logs are fastened together.
2. a basket with a lid is placed on top, which would easily open inwards.
3. earth is poured on the lid, you can pour some food.

The essence of fishing is as follows: a duck, hoping to dry its feathers, will sit on the lid of the basket; under the weight of the bird, the lid opens and the bird falls in without any damage.

You can also catch a duck with a cage with a folding wall. For this you should:

1. set the cage on the ground, after supporting the wall with a spacer, and pour grain inside.
2. tie a string to the spacer and hide somewhere in a secluded place.
3. after waiting for the duck to enter the cage to enjoy the treat, pull the string. The spacer will slide out from under the wall, it will close, and the duck will be trapped.

Another type of trap - using a decoy duck - is designed for drakes. Some use a decoy to imitate how a duck or duckling quacks, but many hunters prefer to work with a real decoy duck, assuring that the result is much more effective than with a decoy.

1. from a light nylon net, a tent is made in the form of a square with a minimum length of 8 meters on each side.
2. stretching strings are pulled along its diagonals and between them, and a heavy ring is tied in the center.
3. a hut for a hunter is set up on the shore, and in shallow water near the shore a stake from 2.5 to 4 meters high is driven into the bottom, on which a tent is put on. Stretch marks are attached with pegs, and a thin cord is pulled from the ring to the hut. It is recommended to catch drakes in the dark, so everything should be prepared in advance.
4. put a duck under the tent.
5. when a drake, sensing a female, swims under the tent, the hunter, hiding in the hut, pulls the cord, and the tent falls, covering both birds. Experienced hunters say that under certain conditions, up to five drakes can be caught in one hunt, but after each catch, you need to change the location of the tent. If it is necessary to catch ducklings or a duck during the molting period, racing nets are used.

Another option is to use the so-called. trapping cones. The simplest type of this trap is an ordinary paper bag with walls smeared inside with bird glue and bait laid out in it. The bottom line is simple: when trying to feast on a decomposed treat, the duck sticks to the walls and, seeing nothing, cannot escape. True, this method has many shortcomings, which are partially corrected by replacing the glue with a trapping belt. It is done like this: a fringe is cut out on a strip of relatively soft plastic, then the strip is folded into a ring, the teeth of the fringe are bent inward and sewn into a bag of dense fabric with a folded or folded muffled part. The main thing at the same time is to choose the right diameter of the ring so that the duck, having stuck its head inside, could not stick it out. When a duck, in pursuit of a treat, puts such a bag on its head, it falls into a real stupor, because, on the one hand, it does not see anything, and on the other hand, it can move. In this state, it is very easy to catch her. The average size of the bag, as hunting practice shows, is as follows:

1. length of the hunting belt = duck head circumference + 30-50 mm.
2. belt width - 50-60 mm.
3. trap bag width = trap belt length + seam allowance.

Such a “reusable” cone is placed in a special feeder made in advance with a number of holes that match the size of the bag. One hole must be made slightly larger than the rest, and left free. The bait is usually traditional pieces of fish, bread, thick porridge, boiled potatoes, lard. Install such a feeder both on the shore and in the water near the shore.

Finally, you can catch a duck using a noose. True, this method, unlike the previous ones, does not give a 100% guarantee of success, therefore it is more often used by hunters with a solid experience. For its implementation it is necessary:

1. choose a body of water frequented by ducks.
2. attach a strong self-tightening loop to a pole mounted on spacers and pour a little corn into its center (ducks peck most readily on it) or lard.
3. determine the direction of the wind and lie low so that the duck cannot smell you.
4. then you have to wait. When a duck arrives, sees your bait and starts eating, you need to sharply pull the end of the rope so that the loop wraps around its neck. This must be done quickly and carefully so that the duck does not have time to fly away.

Unconventional ways to catch ducks

In addition to the methods described above, there are others. Some hunters manage to make the pond itself, on which the ducks fly, into one big trap. It is done this way: the meat-fish-cereal bait is mixed with alcohol at the rate of two liters per one hundred ducks, then the feeders with refreshments are placed throughout the lake. Despite the fact that the metabolism of a duck is much faster than that of a person, intoxication occurs quickly enough, and after about an hour you can collect prey. This method is based on well-known tales about how in some villages geese ate mash waste thrown away by the housewives, got drunk and fell asleep so that they mistook them for dead. A tale is a tale, but, as they say, there is no smoke without fire, and for sure the inhabitants of the countryside can recall similar stories that actually happened ...

But we digress. As you can see, there are many ways to catch a wild duck almost with your bare hands. It should, however, be noted that poachers sometimes use some methods, especially when mass catching ducks, so you should be careful and not get too carried away so that seemingly innocent fun does not turn into something criminal. If your hunting is predominantly irregular and situational, we can only wish you good luck in catching a wild duck and finally show a video where experienced hunters will tell and demonstrate how you can catch a wild duck without a gun.

In the center of Slutsk, homeless people and teenagers catch wild ducks on a hook - Slutsk, Newspaper "Infa-Kur'er"

On Wednesday, September 23, a Slutsk resident Dmitry Reutsky, walking along the embankment in the center of Slutsk, saw two boys hunting wild ducks. They stuck a crumb of bread on a fishing hook with a fishing line. The bird grabbed the bread and, like a fish, was caught.

When Dmitry approached the boys, one of them ran away. The second, according to the Slutsk resident, did not run away just because the reel with fishing line in his pocket caught on - he hid it in his pocket so that no one would notice.

“When I approached, the second boy had already prepared a bag to pack the bird. I don't think this is their first time. Even when I went out to the embankment, I noticed that one bird either bounces, or hides in the water somehow unnaturally, and the whole flock swims away. He immediately ran up, - Dmitry Reutsky describes what was happening in an interview with a correspondent of the Kur "er newspaper. - The bird was lucky this time. Maybe if this case gets publicity, then hunting for them with such a barbaric method will stop. And I really want my parents the boys saw who they raised.”
The boy who caught the duck releases it from the hook. Dmitry Reutsky
When Dmitry approached, the second teenager ran away. According to Dmitry, the captured bird remained alive and flew away.

“But it’s a shame that people just calmly passed by and none of them even asked what was happening. Although many go to feed the ducks, especially with children,” the source added.
About fifty ducks settled in the area of ​​the embankment in the center of Slutsk. At least last fall, some of them became victims of illegal hunting.
Reel with fishing line.

Not the first time

Reports that ducks are caught with a fishing line, a hook and a bread crumb have been received by the editorial office of the Cour'er newspaper more than once. However, there has still been no documentary confirmation of these facts.

So, in the fall of last year, housing and communal services employees noticed a man who, with the help of a fishing line, a hook and a bread crumb, caught and strangled 8 ducks.

“It was a local bum. He left the ducks on the shore and fled. But then he returned for them, ”witnesses said.

From a legal point of view

As Roman Ozhigar, chief forester of the Slutsk Forestry, explained in an interview with a correspondent for the Kur'er newspaper, catching ducks on the embankment is a violation of the law. In such cases, they used a prohibited tool and caught birds in a place not intended for hunting.

They violated the rules of hunting in the Republic of Belarus. And their actions provide for punishment under Article 15.37 of the Code of Administrative Offenses “Violation of the rules for conducting hunting economy and hunting."

Help "Kur" era. Article 15.37 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Belarus (part 1). Hunting without permission either in prohibited places, or at forbidden times, or with prohibited tools, or in prohibited ways - entails a fine of 12 to 15 basic units (currently moment it is from 2,160,000 rubles to 2,700,000 rubles) with or without confiscation of hunting tools. If you see such a fact, you can immediately call the police by phone 102.

ducks

In mid-August this year, Kur "er" wrote that about fifty ducks settled in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe embankment in the center of Slutsk. The population of these birds has grown markedly over the past five years.

In the publications of "Kur" era, local ecologists have repeatedly recommended not to feed wild ducks. Rolls, bread and cookies are harmful to ducks, but if you really want to, you can treat them with compound feed for birds, we reported with reference to Tamara Koleda, director of the Slutsk environmentalist biological center of students.

Previously, bird hunting was a common activity for Slutsk residents. Earlier, "Kur" er wrote that back in the late 19th - early 20th centuries, the townspeople hunted for rooks. These birds were almost the same part of the diet of the inhabitants of Sluchchyna as chicken meat is now. Thus, the number of these birds was regulated.
