[QUOTE="Nitro, post: 3107823, member: 7495"] IMO the absolute most important thing you can do is find a place where there are ducks. Scout hard and figure out where they are midday. Set up there in the morning and have either a good boat blind or set up on the bank camouflaged extremely well with cover overhead and cover your face. Ducks land into the wind so set decoys up accordingly. You don't need 200 decoys, you don't need a spinner, you don't need an extended choke, you don't need a 1200 benelli, you don't need a custom duck call. Matter of fact, unless you can call, you should just call at thier butts and do quacks. Spend your money on warm clothing and a good set of waders. Rig a simple jerk string for movement. When you see ducks, don't make sudden moves or talk and make sure hunting partners know this. Many people make duck hunting too complex. It can be done on the cheap. ..and know how you shotgun patterns. Practice shooting. Most use modifed (improved modified steel) choke with #2 - 3" shells. Kent or Rio's will kill em dead. Good luck.
