How to catch a wild duck alive for breeding at home
There are three main ways to catch wild duck Alive. Some are only with experienced hunters, and even a newcomer can cope with some under the power.
So, the wild inhabitant of the river and the lakes can be caught by living with:
- loops;
- traps;
- hands.
Video: How to catch a wild duck with a trap Only experienced hunters will cope with a loop with a loop: the bird is attracted by the bait (food that she loves) and the hunter, sitting in the ambush, tightens on her paws or a loop torso. The complexity of the method lies in the high risk of bird injury
Catching traps is much easier. To catch the bird alive and disadvantaged, only a box or a cell, equipped with special returnal mechanismwhich works on the weight of the duck. When the bird sit down on the roof of the traps, then fall inside. It is possible to facilitate the process of catching with bait, which are placed on the lids of the boxes.
Did you know?The duck feathers cannot be wetted by water, without exposing them to special processing.
Catching wild birds with hands for only those who know the basic rules of behavior of ducks. With the approaching danger of the uterus distracts the attention of the predator for himself, and the young bird tries to hide. At this time, he is most vulnerable because the birds do not move and sit comfortably. 
Breeding wild ducks at home
Breeding wild ducks in captivity is almost no different from the breeding of a homemade agricultural bird.
Food and feeding
Whatever the diet of wild ducks, they never gain masses of their home fellows. The only thing that can be achieved by such a diet is similarities in the taste qualities of wild and domestic meat. On the will, these waterfowl eating fish, river vegetation, algae and small insects.
In the conditions of captivity, feed the ducks can be rigid varieties of barley and buckwheat, fresh fish, small crustaceans, moth. The feed must be crushed, but not very finely. 
Be sure to eat Pernata must use a small pebble and pure river sand. It is also important that the ducks have round-the-clock access to clean drinking water. Ducklings eat the same thing as chickens - grass, boiled egg, vitamin supplements.
Bird care
The owner should take care of regular cleaning in wrappers. This will help avoid the spread of various diseases.
Important! In the summer, a weak manganese solution should be added to water for waterfowl to protect the livestock from intestinal infections.
Since wild ducks have strong immunity, their vaccination is carried out only in disadvantaged farmers in terms of incidence.
Video: Dilution of wild ducks at home It is important that the bird has the opportunity to walk freely through the city's territory - the availability of natural or artificial reservoirs is obligatory for wild ducks. The walking should be equipped with a canopy that will help protect birds from the rain and sun.
These feathers are well tolerated cold, so aweskend does not need special heating. But it is better if the owner is still taking care of the protection of herd from severe frosts and provides the possibility of insulation of the room. Also, the awaken must ventilate daily to avoid the spread of various infections.
The room should be pure and dry. The awaken itself should be quite spacious - the ideal density of the heads no more than three per square meter. In the warm season, waterfowl feel comfortable in the fresh air, where they can be around the clock. 
With the onset of the cold, they need to organize lighting (light day for conservation of egg production should last at least 14 hours) and insulate the floors with a thick layer of the straw litter. In nature, wild ducks equip their nests in small pits.
At home for waterfowl, you can build special nests, but it is not a fact that the bird wants to sit on it. These feathers are good mothers who can boast strong and fast-growing offspring. Therefore, a person's intervention in care for newborn chicks is minimized.
Breeding wild inhabitants of water bodies at home does not require special knowledge and a lot of labor. With the right approach, this may become not only interesting, but also enough. After all, the delicious and rich in protein meat of wild ducks is highly valued in the market, and the birds themselves are always in demand in forestry.

Now you need to be patient and wait for a suitable moment.
Of course, it's easier to take a slingshot or just a stone and put into the duck, but this method only scares the whole bird and will not bring any result. It is better to take advantage of the stock gene with proven ways. The most common of them is catching a hook.

It is desirable that the hooks be from good durable steel, otherwise they are simply exaggerated or broken.
Stage 2.
On the hook, I am put on a pre-cooked bait, as shown on the video, it can be bought or hand-held felt fishes can also be used by fish losses, experts still advise a piece of sala as bait. We disguise and wait until our bird will swim for a walk.
So, the bird swallows our bait and remains for small, pull out and remove the duck from the hook. If you do not have a hook at hand, it does not matter, you can use an ordinary button. Just as in the previous version, attach the bait and wait, the effect is the same. For getting better results We advise you to make more such traps, so the chance to catch the bird increases.

Thebell that Nibout will not thin will be hard enough and will not call the ducks suspicion, for example, a small branch with branches. For this log, tie the line with hooks of the 5th 6- number, the fishing line should be as thinner as possible, but at the same time sufficiently strong to withstand the duck that will be desperately resist when you will shoot it.
Leashes can be bolted both behind the log and branches, long leashes can be different, the meter is three on average, we go into the reservoir or swim on the boat and install our log on the water where ducks are going, and put on the hooks the nozzle, the nozzle is Living fish or bread or small frogs, the nozzle tie so that it is if it was living in water, but at the same time it did not fall asleep and the duck has noticed it, for this, on a branch or log, we make a sneaker and clamp the fishing line at about 20-30 cm. From Nozzles, so that the bait itself does not pull out itself from the clamp, and the duck during the eating could do without effort.
If the fish is dead, it is not necessary to do so, just suck and throw in the water, she will not drown, the duck will find it and eat it, but remember the living nozzle itself attracts the duck, as it moves and creates movement on the water. If the bread is moving, then It must be hidden over the water, on those branches that stick out of the water, but so that the duck easily to remove it and swallowed it with water. To increase the efficiency of such a log, you can make more than ten such devices, in different places and tie a bigger nozzles, and then calfs can go whole pieces, and what I think with meat I think you will figure it out, can sleep, or maybe in the village for what Nibunica Exchange or sell.
The main thing is not to lose heart and then you will live better than city inhabitants and at the same time do not pay!
Loops and samols for feeding hermit perfect option
Loops and traps for the catch of a small beast and large forest inhabitants, it is an affordable and easy way to get food and animal fur, and other types of animal products. Many think that this method of catching is just a balobiness, and the hunt with a rifle is much better, but in practice hunting with The gun is more sport, since the current hunting, implies to track the beast, harassing it and eventually the exact hit, which requires preparation and at least minimal skills in shooting.Also, such a hunt requires a gun and all the permits for weaponing and the shootings are defined by the types of beasts during a certain period, and even even hunting on deserted spaces, the sounds of the shot will be launched on kilometers around and you will still be interested in Local Oversight Services "Fistekhotzor" and .
And the hunt for the Chiefs, is a secretly silent way of catching the beast, and at the same time much easier and more efficient than hunting with a gun. Indeed samols began to apply even in deep antiquity, but they are relevant to this day, since these ways are for mass divide The beasts and they are universally used by hunting farms, hunters, and this is a favorite method of prey of the beast for poachers. By the way, in general the catch of the beast on the samols are universally prohibited with rare exceptions, these are quotas for indigenous seals and hunting farms.
Due to the fact that such methods are applied by irreparable damage to nature, and quickly reduce the livestock of the belief in this area. Therefore, for the hermit or resident of the deaf terrain, the samols is the perfect option, since the samols are made from the remedies and are quite simple for development.
When installing yourself not to give out your fishery, do not put a loop where people can pass, they can detect traps and spread around the entire district about it, and then, a meeting with the control authorities is provided to you, or themselves can please yourself in your traps and indulge And then you do not envy.
The samols of themselves represent a variety of diverse structures under different beasts, I will not describe the details of the manufacture and installing these samols, as this information can be easily found in books or the Internet, but I will write an exemplary idea of \u200b\u200bthe aircraft.
Chiefs are tray-metal and wooden products for the capture and retention of the beast, as well as loops, this is a product made of metal wires or other thin, soft but simple MaterialsThe principle of the beast comes to the loop, it is delayed and does not give the beast releases, these are pits with sharp stakes or the network inside the beast falls into the pit and attacked the stakes or confused on the network, and many variations and a method of manufacture and installation.
Very, very long ago, we rest "in nature." Nothingwe needed special from this nature. Just decided to get out
away from the city. And actually - culturally drink-eat with overnight
under the stars. Contribute - but without fanaticism. Get to the place.
A small dam with ducks, quiet, clean, weather as to order - miracle!
Put up, decomposed, organized a simple life -
cleancakes-fire-bowl-docks. Beauty!
Sit, drink, eat, talk, we behave decently, no ducks
scare. Grace!
Soon two peasants came out to the place of our cultural recreation. Immediately
see - experienced Chingachguki. Equipped sensible, but easy, go cheerfully, step
right. Rooks-guns-storms. Hunters.
They can, they say, smoke here slightly? We are certainly pleased, not
do you want to join? Those overwhelmed, agreed to "
fifty - we still go ", from the offer to get tested with dignity
refused. Okay. After "fifty - we still go" - got up,
died and ... no, asked, and you, men, just like that - relax -
or how?
- Or how! - says one of us, in which it was already "three hundred fifty," -
we are in the duck.
Chingachguki looked like a camp, in which absolutely nothing
could even rapidly hint about hunting. And questioningly stared at
us.
- Does something? Or how?
- Or how! - says one in which three hundred fifty.
-? - Chingachguki ask one eyes and sit back, revealing
It is one solid interest.
The situation was drawn complicated. Fool your head to serious people -
ugly. And serious people with guns are also risky. That in which
Three hundred fifty lasted on half a second - and improvisation went.
- kettle! Have you tried?
Apparently he tried to heat the conversation line aside a joke. Chingachguki ne.
they appreciated and stared at him somehow ambiguously. By the way - for all time,
what they spent with us, they never smiled.
Three hundred fifty began to come from confusion to despair. When
came - cried out:
- Wait! - And died in a tent. Returned with the kettle. Went to the shore. In it
Time we tried to make Chingachguky even fifty. Happened.
The harshs softened.
Three hundred fifty approached the shore. Remember, I spoke, there is ducks. Three hundred
Fifty triaumed, made some kind of fantastic elegant shuch with
savit and threw the kettle in the thickness of the company, the benefit of it was
meters 15. The company was shigul and MiG starred. Three hundred fifty
turned to us and began to fulfill the expression on the face "did not come out
something. "But one of Gengachguk, who carefully observed
what is happening, executed the dance "Huyasse!" with the corresponding fairytale
russed his brodnie and popper to the dam. There affected the teapot duck
fought for his future and tried to free himself from the kettle, who:
- apparently, its flight mechanization is bought;
- made her handle on her;
- filled with water and pulled into the puchin.
The second Chingachguk also danced "Huyasse" and appeared approvingly.
Three hundred fifty mig rose to five hundred and began to develop
success, stating that he lid on the kettle forgot to wear in a hurry. With a lid
you could immediately bother a couple at once. His quickly, just in case she was finished
before semisot and he fell asleep.
As a result, none of us lost faces, and Chingachguky expanded knowledge to
hunting areas. For such a matter, they supported me more favorably twice
fifty, spoke and moved on their affairs. Duck, by the way, after
inspection (damage was not detected, for which glory to God) was
released with apologies.
