Duck hunting is an amazing tradition and past time that is both fun and challenging to break into. In this episode I talk about **three major parts of duck hunting to help orient you to the sport** so…
This are your, the trinkets and all the small things and the large things that are used in duck hunting.
There's a bunch of gear, a lot of different things that you need or want to go hunt ducks.
It's hard to even give you a comprehensive list because that list changes based on how you're gonna go after the birds.
But generally speaking, you are gonna need some calls, some way to call birds in.
You're gonna need somewhere to hide when those birds come in so that they do not just pick you out immediately.
Uh, chance is probably more likely than not, but again, it depends on how you're gonna go after it.
So this, uh, often comes down to waders or a boat or something of that nature, though there are other options.
Of course, if you're hunting into a field, uh, that's walking or maybe you've got a dog.
And then of course you're gonna have some way to shoot these birds and so you need a gun.
Uh, but then you also need some ammo in that gun and you probably need a choke tube in that gun in order to give you the kind of pattern that you want.
And so there's a lot of different components that go into the stuff of duck hunting.
Uh, every one of these components is really worthy of its own episode and, and I may do dedicated episodes on some and I have done dedicated episodes on some in the past.
So if you go to the website, newhuntersguide.com, go to the categories, hit duck hunting, and you will see, uh, a lot of the episodes that have been done broken up by topic and subject matter to help you drill down deeper.
And as I add more episodes in this series, I do plan to add them there as well and I'll, I'll break them down by subject and topic and so on.
