- Make sure you have targeted an area with no one in close range of your game.

Duck Hunting Safety and Comfort Tips When hunting always tell someone exactly where you are going and what time to expect you back. You never know when you will need help and if no one knows where you are you are out of luck. | When you are duck hunting it is always good to carry a large trash bag in your equipment just in case you get wet. If you take off your coat and put holes in the bag then put it on. It will help hold your body heat in when you put your coat back on. | Always carry life jackets in the boat and wear them when traveling open water. I have sunk a boat in 40 degree water without life jackets available and the only thing that saved me was not being too far from shore and my goose decoys. One under each arm. Learn from my stupidity. | KEEP A SHARP EYE not only for the birds but for the saftey of other hunters keeping a sharp eye will not only better your performce but also keep you and other hunters safe. |
