i wouldnt thank your brother... just look at it this way.. . you will start talking like a duck/goose, everything you do from here on out will be waterfowl hunting related, people will get annoyed of you calling around the house,every extra doller you make will be put into new camo, waders, calls,decoys and anything else you can think of. you may lose your girlfriend/wife etc... other than that, welcome aboard... best sport you can get into in my opinion..
