Going Coastal
Eight Pointer
I have never hunted waterfowl, but have always wanted to give it a try. Had a grandfather that hunted them, he passed before I was born.
Just a blank slate and could use some advice.
How would you start fresh? Will be hunting southwest VA.
I would prefer not to go on a guided hunt just yet, maybe screw up some in private first. Lol
What's the right size shot, better choke constriction for a 12 gauge? I know I'll need to pattern it.
What type calls?
When I was lot younger I floated the rivers trapping and saw mallard, wood ducks. So I can ID those easily and of course geese.
I have a kayak on order to use for public land deer hunting and figured on using it for waterfowl also.
Like most folks I have watched hunting shows, and some enjoyable utube videos on the subject. But I know time hunting will be my best teacher.
Advice is welcome, I am an older guy so go easy on me.
Thanks.
