Must-Have Duck Hunting Gear

To make sure you have everything you need to have a successful duck hunt this season, start with our list of all the must-have duck hunting gear. Before you gear up for your duck hunting trip, be sure to grab your favorite shotgun and purchase a waterfowl hunting license at your local ERLEBNISWELT-FLIEGENFISCHEN store. Once you have those two, it’s time to pick out the rest of your duck hunting gear.

1. Waterfowl Ammo

Waterfowl ammunition is essential for duck hunting and it’s important to have the right kind for your hunt. When it comes to shot sizes for duck hunting, you’ll want to pick up shot size six, five, or four for small ducks and shot size three, two, or one for large ducks. The larger the shot size, the smaller the projectiles within. Along with shot size, you will need to consider shell length. The most popular shell lengths are 2 ¾ inch and 3 inch.

• 2 ¾ inch long shells are great for reduced recoil but contain less room for projectiles
• 3 inch long shells contain more projectiles for more power but increase the recoil.

Make sure you have the right waterfowl ammo so your target goes down each and every time.

2. Duck Hunting Clothing

What you wear duck hunting is one of the most important factors in a successful duck hunt. Not only do you need to stay warm and comfortable to take accurate shots, but ducks have advanced eyesight and will turn away from anything they find out of the ordinary. This is why duck hunting camo is so important. To stay concealed from ducks overhead, make sure to grab a duck hunting jacket and pants, along with duck hunting accessories like a camo face mask or face paint and waterproof gloves Range Bags & Shell Pouches SITKA’s waterfowl system describes. The key to hiding from ducks is to remove shiny surfaces like skin or reflective gear and stay completely still until you are ready to shoot.

3. Duck Hunting Footwear

When it comes to duck hunting gear, it is important to make sure you are comfortable and ready for anything. That is why we recommend picking out a quality pair of duck hunting waders or waterproof hunting boots. Duck hunting waders are a popular choice among duck hunters because they combine boots and overalls for waterproof protection that's easy to take on and off. Just make sure you grab a pair of wader pants for a slim, insulated baselayer underneath your waders. If you already have hunting pants or you don’t need waders, make sure you choose the right hunting boot. The best waterproof hunting boots are typically made of rubber to ensure your feet stay dry so can focus on the hunt.

4. Duck Decoys & Decoy Bags

To have a successful duck hunt, you have to see some ducks. Duck decoys are made to lure ducks into flying and landing near your duck blind so you can take the shot. Duck decoys come in a variety of styles, such as floaters, which as the name suggests, float on ponds and sloughs. Floaters come in full body and half body varieties to simulate feeding. If you want some movement for a more lifelike decoy spread, pick up some spinner decoys if they are legal in your area. Once you have your decoys picked out, make carrying them from the truck to the hunting spot easy with decoy bags. Decoy bags are specifically made to make setting up your decoy spread easier and faster.

5. Duck Calls

Going along with creating a lifelike decoy spread, it is important to also use sound to your advantage with duck calls. Duck calls are very important for luring ducks to your location. A group of ducks might spot your decoy spread, but if they don’t hear any quaking or calls they may choose to fly past. It is important for duck hunters to learn the basic call types in order to lure ducks in. Along with the noise you produce, there are also different types of duck calls that are tailored toward different scenarios. Depending on your location, duck movements, and time of day, there is a best duck call for each situation. Make sure you have ducks to hunt by luring them in with a duck call from ERLEBNISWELT-FLIEGENFISCHEN.

6. Duck Blinds

Once you have your decoy spread and duck call to lure the ducks in, you need to be concealed. The goal is to have the ducks see the decoys, not you. That is where duck blinds come in. Built and designed with advanced camo patterns to blend into natural landscapes, duck blinds will keep you hidden until you’re ready to shoot. There are two main types of duck blinds: A-frame blinds and layout blinds. A-frame blinds are shaped like the letter “A” and allow you to sit and wait for the ducks to come in. Layout blinds are in a coffin style with you lying on the ground watching the sky. Depending on your hunting party and the terrain, one may be better suited for you, but both styles offer excellent concealment.

7. Duck Hunting Blind Bags

Now that you have all of your gear, you’ll need something to carry it all in. Duck hunting blind bags are perfect for carrying your gear from the truck to your blind and back. When packing a blind bag, you should include your ammo, duck calls, hunting license, thermos, knife, multi-tool, food and more. There are different types of duck hunting blind bags from classic wide mouth bags to backpack style blind bags. When choosing a duck hunting blind bag, make sure you have enough room for the essentials and it isn’t too heavy for the walk to the duck blind. Once you are out in the field or pond, you won’t be able to go back to the truck without scaring the ducks, so it’s important to make sure you have everything you need in your blind bag.

Congratulations! Once you have everything on this duck hunting gear list you have what you need to have a successful duck hunt.
