I go to UC Davis-just west of Sacremento- have an 870 12 ga express and zero waterfowl experiece- I have hunted dove and quail before, however. Any advice as to what would be a good method to go about this. We have Canadian's, Mallards, as well as numerous other species. The area is mostly rural farm land with several creeks flowing through it. Any advice as to how to approach it-as well as land owners- would be awesome.
