To determine duck hunters? risk for highly pathogenic avian influenza, we surveyed duck hunters in Georgia, USA, during 2007?2008, about their knowledge, attitudes, and practices. We found they engage in several practices that could expose them to the virus. Exposures and awareness were highest for those who had hunted >10 years.
