What does the term “duck” mean with regards to backpacking or geocaching?

I’ve just learned of a game called geocaching. You use a GPS to locate hidden items placed in remote spots around the world. One of the clues for a cache near my home says that a previous visitor had “ducked” the cache. The term seems to be used in backpacking as well.
Do you know what this means?
