Hey Guys,
I am new to duck and goose hunting (started this year with the help of a couple friends) but grew up on a ranch and have hunted everything else possible, varmits, deer, dove, quail, pheasant, etc. So I have a lot of gear for hunting mounted up over the years. However, I don't have anything for duck hunting. I was curious to see what you all thought about what I should start out with. I have a shotgun and am getting all my camo together. But what kind of decoys, calls, blinds, etc should I look into buying. I will be hunting puddle ducks and will have to be mobile being in the Texas Panhandle. My biggest question right now is what kind of calls should I get and how is the best way to learn (pester another hunter, CDs, DVDs...) to call effectively.
Thanks guys this is my first post and I'm looking forward to lots and lots of good info in the future by joining this awesome forum.
