Divlje patke su jedna od najrasprostranjenijih vrsta među lovnim vrstama. Obitavaju na raznolikim tipovima vodenih staništa. S obzirom na način hranjenja dijele se u dvije vrste: patke plivarice i patke ronilice. Patke plivarice su lakše građe pa to doprinosi lakšem letu. Hrane se s površine vode ili zarone samo prednjim dijelom tijela (patke: gluhara, kržulja, pupčanica, kreketaljka i žličarka). Patke ronilice su krupnije i imaju noge više straga radi zatrčavanja po vodi da mogu poletjeti, a hrane se roneći po dnu (patke glavata i krunasta). U divljač pripadaju patke: gluhara, kržulja, pupčanica, glavata i krunasta pa je na njih dopušten lov. One su zaštićene lovostajem, a za lov se koriste puške s glatkim cijevima. Wild ducks are one of the most common types among the types of hunting. They dwell on the various types of aquatic habitats. Considering the way of feeding, wild ducks are divided into two types: watervale ducks and diving ducks. Watervale ducks are build very easy and it contributes to the easy flight. They feed on the surface of the water or they can dive with the front part of their body (ducks: mallard, teal, garganey,gadwall, shoveler) . Diving ducks are larger and the have feet more back for the easier running on the surface of the water and they eat by diving at the bottom (ducks pochard and tufted duck). In wild animals belong: mallard, teal, garganey,pochard and tufted duck , so the hunting on these ducks are allowed. They are protected by a closed season, and for hunting is used rifle with a smooth bore.
