I don't mind it tho, I don't mind getting up at 4 a.m. It's a time for me to get away from things and just be in the peaceful outdoors. Do y'all usually eat your kill?

I don't mind it tho, I don't mind getting up at 4a.m. It's a good time to get away from life and be in the peaceful outdoors, there is nothing more relaxing than that.

@quintcarney...it's not a joke, I laughed it off too. Very enjoyable but very invasive on the day to day life you are leaving. Welcome to the money pit.

It couldn't be that bad tho. I don't mind getting up that early or any of that. I like the outdoors

flashlight to put on your head in the dark hours, face mask any brand, i layer up underneath and wear a waterproof jacket. outside needs to be camo but who cares what the layers are underneath. keep your feet warm !

Academy is your friend...especially for beginners.

Waterproof jacket

Waders

Decoys

Duck Call

Shotgun and ammo

You can get it all at academy and won't pay an arm and a leg.

I already have all that, just wanted to upgrade from beginner stuff. Except the duck calls don't have any of those yet but like to go ahead and get started on calling and all that good business

Ive been at it for 6 years now, gone through a kayak and on my second duck boat now, working on getting my third. Its not a joke, you will go broke.

My first year I bought waders and a waterproof shell at academy. Had misc gloves and stuff from deer hunting I used. The key is layers.

I just retired those waders and yes Im too cheap and should have bought a new pair 3 years ago, but they got the job done.

Since my first season, Ive only bought 2 more jackets (Drake), 2 more masks (UA), A handful of double reed calls and 1 whistle (brand is up to your bank), probably 5 pairs of gloves (they all suck), 3 shotguns (Benelli), 3 dozen decoys (GHG), probably 10 spotlights (they all suck), maybe only two dozen misc lights, and a blind bag (drake).

Now if you wanna talk about boats, just make friends with someone that has one and buy them gas. Much easier that way.

start buying a box or two of shells every time you go to the store saves you money when they jack the prices up or none are on the shelf


If I put my wife in a high fence will her rack get bigger?

that's very true but when duck season is over I just bought a flat to get it over with so I didn't have to worry about getting some at the start of next season.

drake water fowl jacket by far, I have used game winner the thick waders I love them! in 20 degrees i can wear a pair of short and thin socks and be fine. just make sure you have warm gloves, and a good tobogan or face mask. I invested this year in a whole lot of head and hand gear to be warmer this year!
