An unusual festival is underway in Vietnam's Daklak province. Blindfolded participants eagerly join the annual Duck Catching Festival, where they brave the flooded rice fields in hopes of catching their ducks.

In an area spanning 200 square meters, contestants make their way through the murky waters, hands outstretched in search of the elusive feathered targets.

The challenge is intensified by the blindfolds, which add an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability to the competition.

Spectators watch as about 30 ducks are released into the rice paddies, their quacks echoing across the fields. With adrenaline pumping and the clock ticking, participants race against each other to capture as many ducks as possible before time runs out.

Video shows dozens of people participating in the fun Duck Catching Festival under flooded rice fields in Daklak province, Vietnam on March 12.

About 30 ducks were released into a wet rice field of about 200m2 and there were dozens of people participating in this game. Those who participate in the game must be blindfolded so that they cannot see the ducks and the road.

They will have to find a way to catch the duck in an area of ​​about 200m2.
Fortunately, they were enthusiastically cheered by the audience on the field and guided to the location of the ducks in which area to be able to pounce.

This is a very popular game in many festivals in Vietnam. But the blindfold game of catching ducks taking place in the rice fields is very rare.
