re: Thoughts on duck hunting these days

I've seen blame on Duck Dynasty a few times but do they even really discuss actual duck hunting much in the show? I'm not a duck hunter but had a friend growing up that was and still is a huge one. We are mid 30s and his dad brought him up doing it from a real young age. He used to win all kinds of calling contests to the point he was a judge by junior high. We strictly hunted public land and would get a lot of kills compared to everyone else hunting for the most part. Once we got older and moved to separate cities I quit duck hunting because I have no freaking clue what I'm doing, plus Im a cheap hunter to begin with and duck hunting can be expensive.

I do recall we used old worn out waiters, shotgun without whatever choke people use for duck hunting, and very few decoys, all of them cheap and he would still have us on lots of ducks. Nearly 20 years later he is still duck hunting and uses same old gun, same old waiters, and most of his decoys are same ones. He said he still uses same calls. Lots of people now seems like spend a buttload of $ on duck hunting and act way to serious about it with all the bumper stickers and I e even seen tattoos about it . Really not sure the point of my post. I am tempted to shoot some wood ducks sometimes near creeks while deer or squirrel hunting. Not while hunting deer or squirrel but coming back another day. Just don't wanna buy frick liscence just for a few woodies.
