Duck hunting has long been a popular kind of hunting. In the Midwest and central United States in states like Wisconsin and Iowa, duck hunting generally occurs on lakes, marshes, swamps, or rivers where ducks and geese land during their migration. Another great duck hunting location is in Louisiana the Centeral Fly Way. Cornfields and rice paddies are also common duck hunting grounds, since geese and ducks often feed on the grain that remains in the field after harvest. In some areas, farmers rent or lease hunting rights. Some farmers or hunters form hunt clubs, which can cover thousands of acres and have resort-like amenities, or be as simple as a shallow pit hunting blind dug into a field. Many hunters also enjoy duck hunting with a hunting dog. On the East and West coast of America and many parts of Europe, duck hunters often focus on the seashore, sometimes using duck hunting boats. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service maintains millions of acres as National Wildlife Refuges open to public hunting, Texas duck hunting and Arkansas duck hunting rank very high in the country.
