I was a little bit surprised after hunting for a few hours in Rougarou Bayou, and not managing to shoot a single mallard. :) I saw the high altitude flocks and thought "I can't be meant to hit those!" So after a while I decided to go find a tutorial, and you explained it all very nicely for me, thank you HooCairs. :) (Y) I had no idea callers were so important for hunting this species. I've never seen the need to buy a pheasant caller/lure and thought this would be the same. I'll purchase both callers now. :)
Hey HooCairs. Great video buddy. I'm really having fun with the ducks. It's a totally new way of hunting, and I think the devs basically nailed it. It really feels and looks lifelike. BTW very good song too, so thank you Ononemi 8)
Another great location is the stone ruin near the big water. the main ruin is where I set my tent. Nearby, to the west is a peninsula with additional stone ruins on it. Put your decoy spread out in front of it and your blind elevated behind your spread. Wide open skies on big water. I killed 17 there last night starting at 5:00 AM to about 7:00. Also of note and something which I think Hoo figured out, optics while waterfowl hunting is a disadvantage. You need your field of view and the nature of shot with a spread of 12-18 inches, it is a point and shoot affair. Acquiring targets quickly is the name of the game when bird hunting. If you show up IRL with an optic on your gun you would get laughed out of the blind. ;)
Thanks for the tip on that location - 360° view with not a single tree. And I also learned pretty quick that optics are just hindering. Guess there's a reason why there is none available for the 20GA semi shotgun. ;)
Stiltzkin84 dont know about bundles but 24 decoys 2400em tent 550em blind 420em and callers 175em x2 and clothes are a different story also a shotgun. 3720em without clothes or weapons
Indeed. Which equals roughly $33 (US) unless you spend months farming the "earn em" function. Still enjoy the game every so often, but still get taken aback by the costliness of the micro-transactions.
+hoocairs when I shoot the ducks over 50% bounce around and I can find them. I follow the bounce but they seem to disappear? I have my blind set up in the same location you have yours from your other duck video. Is there something i can do to prevent this or a work around so I can harvest the birds I kill? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks I'm Pointyear in theHunter BTW
how often does a flock of mallard fly over? thats the one thing i cant find on the wiki or in this video. im considering getting into this, depending on how long the waiting takes
+Grand Tickler I know this is old but ill answer ( In case you didnt know or want to get back into it ) They fly over at random times depending on the time of day but you can call them from a far with the wooden caller
Cool video, thanks. The song is really beautiful, could you tell me where I can get it? Amazon doesn't have it and googling didn't help much, either......
Awesome video HooCairs. One question. Do mallards get spooked by your scent? I understand they see movement, and the blind will help with that, but not sure if scent protection would help or not.
that second spot is exactly where i set up yesterday! great hunters think alike! thanx for the vid. i could barely get ducks to come in. but now i see i need at least 12 decoys ,i only bought a couple. gotta say there pretty pricey!
Ducks have eyes like hawks ! they can spot your movement from moving your hand to your gun ! Ducks cannot pick up scent ! being camouflaged is the only thing you have to worry about ! :)
Anyone know if they're going to add additional species? Wood ducks would be pretty cool, teal too. Would love to be able to get dogs as well. Pointers and retrievers.
Hey I cam trying to set up a multi-blind multi-decoy setup. It says the decoys must be at least 100m apart, but what is the maximum distance they can be apart and the host keeps them active?
Some folks have told me about a setup where the blinds are placed in an equilateral triangle 300m apart, and decoys placed on the inside of the triangle so they are not more than 220m from any blind. Do you know what the significance of 300m is? Why couldn't I put the blinds 230m apart?
doesn't your tent block nearby animals from spawning? i always dismantled my tent before starting to call and placed it again when i was going to leave. was this unnecessary?
Animals on ground will not spawn within 150m of the tent that you start at. It only matters right then and there, but not afterwards. So it will not spawn ducks right there, but that doesn't matter. Ducks will constantly fly over and you can forget those few you might miss. You can leave the tent where it is. ;)
Hey! Good video! I have been trying to hunt ducks, but cannot find the license for them anywhere!!! Are f2p players allowed to hunt ducks? I already have the calls and decoys.... Just need the license. :/ PLZ HELP! Thx.
No this is the one when you track a deer then it's says sneak into the ambush site and I just can't find it spent the last hour trying to can you help me out
Hoo I have been watching your videos and noticed you are pretty good. Any chance you can help me take down an albino brown bear. The Hunter name is HookahHits
I guess I can only help you take one down if you play in multiplayer all the time and then one day, when you finally see one, ask me to join your game. ;-) They are very rare and not in any particular place. You just need to play a lot to find one to increase your chances.
hey does anyone know if you can refund thing you bough? i bough half of the swamp camo and 2 callers, but it semms i dont have enough to hunt mallards and want to you the money moose caller, hog caller etc. is it possible to refund items bough?
no offence but ur not very accurate lol. it is hard to shoot them flying tho and its even harder in real life because of the wind. im from louisiana in south united states i see places like Rougarou Bayou all the time..beautiful

Step 0 you need to have a good amount of money

its a bit of a pain that to have the most success in hunting for ducks and geese is by paying 2400 ems just for the decoys alone
And around 500 for the waterfowl blind. And 300-500 for the two callers.
Stiltzkin84 dont know about bundles but 24 decoys 2400em tent 550em blind 420em and callers 175em x2 and clothes are a different story also a shotgun. 3720em without clothes or weapons

Now you got me hunting ducks !! Good video.
wkasa Thanks, but I think this one is even more useful. It is more up-to-date and has some more info:

I don't believe ducks use scent. Plus they are flying high and from far away where your scent is low.

nope ducks cannot smell nor can all other birds...
Nice vid mate just one question, what time are the best for hunting ducks?
Thanks. In the video it was around 7:30. I also start often at 10:00. In the 2nd location you can also see 10:00 on the Huntermate.
When did the 357 handgun be permitted?
+Sharon Kingsbury Before the introduction of the .22 Grasshopper Pistol.
I've been asking for a while and can't find any info. can you have 24 of every species or 24 max for max attractions
what is the best time for hunting?
Anyone know if they're going to add additional species? Wood ducks would be pretty cool, teal too. Would love to be able to get dogs as well. Pointers and retrievers.
Hey I cam trying to set up a multi-blind multi-decoy setup. It says the decoys must be at least 100m apart, but what is the maximum distance they can be apart and the host keeps them active?
This is for multiplayer. I have heard both 220m and 280m.
Some folks have told me about a setup where the blinds are placed in an equilateral triangle 300m apart, and decoys placed on the inside of the triangle so they are not more than 220m from any blind. Do you know what the significance of 300m is? Why couldn't I put the blinds 230m apart?
It says not to use multiple callers at once. How close can blinds be, and the callers don't spook the geese?
aranksentimentalist The blinds have no effect on where the ducks are and where they will come down.
doesn't your tent block nearby animals from spawning? i always dismantled my tent before starting to call and placed it again when i was going to leave. was this unnecessary?

The mallardsingame dont smell scent.
I think I might like;)
how much male mallard decoys i need to start hunting normal
If you have 24 decoys you have maximum attraction. It does not matter whether the decoys are male or female. There is no difference.
Ohh i love this game but the bad thing is i don't have card to buy membership :(
Thats Sweet! Check Out Our Latest Video!
where is the ambush site on the 2nd tutorial please help
Is that the one where you need to enter the tower?
No this is the one when you track a deer then it's says sneak into the ambush site and I just can't find it spent the last hour trying to can you help me out
it's called fatal attraction
Hoo I have been watching your videos and noticed you are pretty good. Any chance you can help me take down an albino brown bear. The Hunter name is HookahHits
I guess I can only help you take one down if you play in multiplayer all the time and then one day, when you finally see one, ask me to join your game. ;-)
They are very rare and not in any particular place. You just need to play a lot to find one to increase your chances.

no offence but ur not very accurate lol. it is hard to shoot them flying tho and its even harder in real life because of the wind. im from louisiana in south united states i see places like Rougarou Bayou all the time..beautiful
Як нимає путя качок стріляти то хай видали ту охоту
