RE: first year hunting alone
Welcome to the solo world. Heres a few things I;ve learned from my few years of experience I hope they help.
1. camo it depends on your surroundings. The most import thing in clothing is warm dry and comfortable. For really cheap camo especially if you hunting in a marsh or field is burlap with spray painted with some flat black stripes or just mudded up. Lay down throw it over you and your good to go.
3. Decoys depend on your hunting spots. I have one spot where I take two black duck decoys and thats all I need. The bigger the spot the more you need. I would have at least a dozen mallards 4 geese and a few other exotics scattered in.
4. Your improved choke is fine. You don't need to camo the gun. Just hold it across your lap nder the burlap.
7. for duck decoys just go to a local Army Navy and get and old duffel. You should be able to get a dozen ducks in it.
I hope this helps. If you have anymore questions fell free to ask. Good Luck this season
Save the sport. Take a kid hunting twice and hook them for life!!!
