Hey all,
I inherited an old Browning A5 from my grandfather a few years ago which has seen more of my case than daylight, it simply wasn't functioning properly and I didn't have the time/cash flow to get it working. I recently had the shotgun tuned up and now, finally, the semi auto action is working properly. Having said that, I've wanted to get into Waterfowl hunting for a while now but pursuing and learning the larger game has stolen most of my focus away from any intentions to move forward with the birds.
Long story short, the time has come and i'd love to get into the world of Water fowl hunting and am not sure where to start. I was hoping to gather some insight from a few of you on here if you're willing, at the very least just to get my foot in the door and pointed in the right direction.
Essentially, I'm just looking for some general advise to get started and if it's not too much of a hassle perhaps some answers to these questions:
1.)What are the essential gear requirements? ( calls? decoys? ect )
2.) Do most lower mainlanders head out to the Ladner public area? Or is there a significant advantage if you head up towards the interior.
3.) Are there any clubs that are worth looking at? From what I understand they can be fairly difficult to become a member ( I have lots of time )
4.) Any further recommended literature/books/reading is greatly appreciated.
I'd love to get out and at least have a few opportunities this year to enjoy some duck hunting.
Much appreciated,
Matt
