Bobby my partner and I try to go out every weekend in Ladner. We are experienced enough every season we encounter new mistakes not the old ones haha. We take our share of ducks and geese. You can PM me closer to opening and we can see if our schedules work.
The requirements are pretty simple but the field knowledge is vast, I know I'm only scraping the surface.
- shotgun with chokes. Anything over cylinder is an improvement.
- boots and better yet waders
- drab or camo clothing
- clothing that can keep you warm and dry. definitely need waterproof outer layer.
- a seat that will keep your butt out of the water if the tide is high
- flashlight because you are going to be in the field an hour before sun up
- bag that can stand up to the elements and even one that can be put in water
- good attitude in the face of the elements! It can be hard work but very rewarding and fun
For now, read up all you can and go out to shoot trap and better yet skeet. Here are some links that can get you started on basic knowledge.
