An HBC friend and hunting buddy took me duck hunting last week. One of his other HBC friends lent me a layout blind! THANKS BOYS!! It was my first time and I had a freaking BLAST! LOL Damn addictive personality, must have TOYS!!! ... still consuming many waking hours thinking about getting out again in a couple days! Ha
So couple newbie questions.
CALLS - What are the differences in quality/type of sounds between single, double, and 1 1/2 reed calls? What do I need for a starter set? Mallard, Teal, ???
I went into WWS on Boxing Day and they were out of stock on all the duck calls except the $140 ones behind the glass case ... that is out of my budget for sure! What should I expect to spend?
DECOYS - How many in a reasonable set? Types? Brand? I don't want to have to baby them so flocked precious decoys are probably not for me.
BOAT or BLIND? My neck seized up for a couple days after our hunt from laying at an unusual angle so am thinking about a different style blind or using netting or whatever available on the shore? Any advise welcome with thanks in advance.
