The equipment can be both extensive and expensive, though there is a good bit of crossover regarding the functionality of goose hunting equipment for other waterfowling (duck hunting).

Between, appropriate firearms, decoys, blinds, calls, dogs. clothing, decoy trailers (for large spreads to haul decoys), etc., it is really not a small investment.

One can start off more reasonably and add equipment in incriments, or join forces with other hunting partners in creating a suitable communal spread, leaving more expendable funds for personal gear such as guns, clothing, calls, etc.

Guiding out would give you a good look at experiencing a hunt and what is involved to pull it all together, without a major investment on your part. WARNING - IT CAN BE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!!!

Do your homework before spending lots of money, only to find that you are having trouble locating and securing good grounds / permission.

Good luck with it.
