    First, you need to get your own gun and you need to or he needs to make sure you are a safe gun handler. Practice on a bit of skeet shooting would be a deffinite help. Also practice making duck and geese calls. If you get good at it, your husband will really enjoy your company with your participation in calling by bringing in those birds. But most of all, be safe and have fun and spend quality time and one last thing, get a really nice waterproof breathable waterfowl cammo suit and boots. If you go half way with quality, you will regret and spend tghe money later to buy what you should have bought the first time. Same thing for the gun. Start with a Benelli, and it could be the only gun you will have to buy.

    Good luck on your first hunt, and be safe.

    We've had ****** luck so far. Too warm outside for one, and we have nearby hunters that are baiting geese which is illegal where I hunt, so we try to stay clear of that area and we need to find a new hunting spot. This is the worst start we ever had. We are trying a new spot Monday morning. Hope the birds come in.

    resident geese is open at my new hunting spot. I was ready to go until the farmer said he chases them off the property . Guess I'll have to wait a little longer. It'll be a waste of time if I go out now.

    No good here in Texas. Heard tons of teal fly in around 3am sat. morning, but all gone by legal light. No water, 1.5 mile walk in knee deep mud to get to hunting spot, I'll be staying in the dove fields this september.

    I've been watching the DU hunt reports and it seems as if only a handful of guys got into the teal... The lack of water in Texas was the biggest complaint..
    Take'em
