What are Purposes of Duck Hunting?

Fig 01- Three Duck playing at road side


Number of waterfowl hunters about 900,000 in the USA, but they killed 31 millions duck each years. Quite surprising number for me.


Some states with higher duck killed, sometimes not correlated to number of active duck hunters with licenses.


From The Duck Blog (2017), here the list of states with higher average duck killed by a hunter per year:

- Mississippi

- Tennessee

- Oregon

- Louisiana

- Idaho

- Washington

- Arkansas

- California.

Then, What are Purposes of Duck Hunting?


The answers are depended on to whom we talk to: government or duck hunters?

Federal duck stamps or licenses are source of income for federal and states government.


Cost for federal stamps was US$ 28.5 (include transaction fees), and license fees are varies between state to state.


These income was designed for conservation efforts, especially in relate to:

- wildlife management

- new lands purchase for hunters

- research and education


Hunters or whoever interests with duck hunting may purchase federal stamps in many places:

- U.S. Post Offices

- Walmart

- some sporting and outdoor stores

- some national wildlife refuges

- online


Moreover, duck hunting is for sport purpose, and duck’s flesh is the main target for some duck hunters.


Have you ever hunting? Hunting for what animals? Deer, duck or what?

  1. Oh, I don't hunt, but as a girl I had to pick up the dead birds and tear out the feathers as well as skin, cut and package deer meat. Something, I don't miss.

  4. Hunting is a very popular sport in the US. Many of my relatives in the South hunt many animals. I prefer to feed the ducks, deer and birds!

  9. Oh NO, I love birds so duck hunting is sad. The only hunting I have done is fishing if one can call that hunting. Done it only once and I found it cruel, even putting the worms on. Animals should be free and safe.

  12. I do not like the idea of killing animals for sport. I understand there is a need for it sometime to control the population and keep the line healthy overall, but I would never, ever participate in the killing of an animal.

  17. ¡¡Hola!! No me gusta la caza, nunca la he practicado. Entiendo la caza cuando hay superpoblación de animales, aquí sucede con los conejos, se comen todas las cosechas de los agricultores y hasta hacen muchos agujeros debajo de las autovías poniendo en peligro las estructuras. Es comprensible que se les deje cazar a los cazadores de forma controlada para controlar las plagas, pero no me gusta sólo por el hecho de hacerlo por placer. Saludos.

  19. Hunting duck? Is it for food or others? I rarely eat duck, I often eat chicken like chicken soup or fried chicken. But, not duck.

    But, I wonder, is duck so expensive? Because I seldom find people sell fried duck, etc.
