i have the allegheny river right in front of my house........tons of different kinds of ducks and tons of canadian geese. i always wanted to start waterfowl hunting but never hung around anybody who had an interest in it. i don't really know the first thing about it. a couple of questions i have is:

do you need a boat??
a dog??
expensive blinds??

i'm sure there's a heck of a lot more that's needed too.
can some of you guys/gals fill me in??
thanks in advance!!
