They feed from dusk until dawn; therefore, hunting for this bird mainly takes place at dawn, when the ducks return to their nests. They can be hunted by sailing up to them in a boat or dinghy. The dog plays a very important role, whose task is to search for the shot birds. Smoothbore weapons and shots are used for hunting.
