Several days ago while I sat at my deer spot I noticed bunches of ducks landing about 60 yards from where I was seated. They just kept coming in 6-8 at a time. After seeing so many I wondered what was I doing there with a bow and arrow, I should be over there with a shotgun. But wait I've never duck huntes before....
So what kind of advice would y'all give someone who is thinking about getting into some ducks. I see that it can get expensive quick. I already have a pair of redhead extreme series cleated wader (my cousin bought them for me thinking they were for fishing). I've been reading up on the waterfowl regs so I know about the hip permit and duck stamp.
What kind of shotgun would you recommend? Barrel length? Capable of firing 3.5? Semi or pump? If I get a shotgun I would like to be able to use it for upland birds as well.
I know I probably won't get out this season for ducks since we are towards the end of this season, but I know I enjoy the outdoors and think this will be something that will have me wanting to be out there more.
Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.
