Trea I'm 28 and new to it too. I'm learnin as I;m goin. Alot of good videos, Cd and books out there.Get all ya can.

You call em, decoy em, Just like turkey you need good camo and they will flare if it aint right.

As far as calls go I know squat. I bought a Haydells single reed and been usin that. My brother in law has a Duck Commander and I like the way it sounds. I plan on one of those soon. Goose I have a Foiles Meatgrinder (?) sounds nice, but took awhile to get it where I could actually sound like a goose. Not just a kid with a kazoo.

BUT i've been told that no calling is better than bad calling.

Cabelas has their Greenhead series of decoys that aint too expensive either.
