Observing polar bears inside the Zoo
You can't see polar bears without a bow and an arrow, but it is possible to capture them with your camera. You will need to be unnoticed and your camera must work. This can be difficult in a camera blind, and your potential shots may not turn out. There are many wildlife enthusiasts who love the Arctic wildlife. Here are some ways to get close to these majestic animals.
Spraying an attractant on a Tree
Spray a tree before going on a bear hunt. Bears like sweet smells. Make sure you use an attractant that is vanilla, chocolate-like, fruity, or anise. Spray high enough to reach the trees so the scent can spread throughout the valley. If you don’t want to spray an attractant, you could always add artificial vanilla extract water.
Predator calling
A predator call can be used to draw bears. Some bruins are disinterested and will slowly wander off, while others may vamoose at great speed. Older boars, which are more sensitive to predator calls, may run at you directly, circle to grab the wind, and even drool up to you. Big bears, however, are not afraid and will readily come to you if called.
Bow and bear shooting
You need to be able to shoot a bear with a bow. Bears are unique in their body structure. They can sit upright like a dog, sit in a cupped position, or even stand on two legs. These variations can make it difficult to photograph bears in the right position. Proper shot placement is critical, especially if the bear is broadside.

How To
How to hunt wild ducks
The most common way to hunt wild ducks is to use decoys. You can use decoy birds that are live and place them at a distance from the blind to allow you to see them clearly from far away. Avoid hunting in windsy conditions, as the birds will flee very quickly. You might also be able to scare away some birds if you have several hunters nearby.
Know how many birds you want when hunting wild ducks. If you don't know what kind of bird you're shooting, then you shouldn't shoot. Make sure you have enough ammunition to take down whatever number of birds you want.
If you endanger many birds, you will need to clean and prepare your meat before you can eat it. It is best not to wait until the meat is done cooking. Once the meat is cooked, remove any bones and feathers.
Wild ducks are often found near water, but sometimes they can be seen flying through fields, woods, and swamps. They fly low to the ground which makes them easier targets. Try to keep wild duck hunting quiet until you reach a distance that allows you to make a shot. This means being quiet and still as you wait to take a shot.
