The most common gun for duck hunting is a 12-gauge shotgun. Some guys may use a 20-gauge for teal or for a challenge, but I suggest a beginner use a 12-gauge as long as the person's frame can handle it. I also recommend using a semi-automatic shotgun, but a pump-action shotgun will do the trick.

Assessing Your Property for Duck Attraction Look for natural water bodies like ponds, lakes, or slow-moving streams. Ducks thrive in areas with calm waters that provide easy access for swimming and foraging. These water bodies should ideally have a mix of shallow and deeper areas, catering to various duck species.

Wood Ducks and Mallards Wood ducks reside near streams and lakes in North and East Texas, which is also where you'll find the much larger but similarly hued mallards, the nation's most common duck. For hunters who covet these birds, Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area, northwest of Palestine, is a good bet.
