i found quite a few ducks this summer while trout fishing. so today i went looking for them and actually found a couple wood ducks, but it stops there.i really wasnt sure on how to go about getting to them.can i stalk ducks?like find out wich way they are swimming and then get ahead of them or is there better way?thanks

Yes you can stalk them in my state. In yours, i don't know the rules and regs. What I do with woodies is just have at most 5 or 6 woody dekes seperated from the main spread. Usually a trio of 2 drakes/1 hen, and then a pair 1 drake/ 1 hen. If they see your dekes and the dekes are in their flight path, they might stop. Its always uncertain what one of those little critters is gonna do.

i ahve actually found a lot of ducks in my creek as well especially in the spring and i was thinking about shooting thwem

We stalk ducks all the time here in Michigan. Sneak up through the grass along the marsh and suprise them. They fly, then fall. Called jump shooting.
