I started out just like you are, i ended up getting about eight beat up mallards and two redhead dekes from a garage sale, and bought a half dozen goose shells. I killes some birds and started learning. I also learned to find spots where small numbers of dekes worked, or even spots to jump/pass shoot. But all in all if you like waterfowling start small, and work your way up, it also helps to get aquainted with people your age who are just as into waterfowling as you are. I am 22 and have three buddies who are into it and between us we cant get all of our gear into on fullsize truck anymore. Every year we buy a little. Hope that gives you ideas. Good Luck!!!!! CARP

I'm quite a bit older than you and can probably afford a lot more, but the G@H decoys have always been my favorite.
The last batch I bought was end of the year clearance sale at Galyans.
I think I paid about $30 US a dozen.

When I was your age, we killed more ducks over milk jugs painted with black spray paint. To this day, I've probably killed more ducks over milk jugs than anything else
