Tips for a new waterfowler

[LOVEMYLABXS]

What kinds of tips would you give to a new waterfowler.

I can think of quite a few but here's a short list.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T !

This word covers a lot of stuff for a new hunter of any kind.

Be sure to THANK a person that takes you out.

Thank a landowner if he lets you in to hunt HIS property. This can be as simple as just saying THANK YOU SIR or like I'm going to do for a gentlemen that gave me permisson to hunt his land I had a good day Sat so I'm fixin some shredded BBQ goose to drop of with a note telling him how much I apprecate him letting me hunt HIS land.

Help out with all you can from gas to helping load gear before and after a hunt.

Keep your mouth shut as to locations that someone takes you to. nothin worse then finding a so called friends rig and a couple of others in a spot you showed them.

Be on time !!

Clean up after yourself and others that can't seem to. From empties to just plain trash pick it up and leave it better then when you found it. You never know what you might find once I got a full box of shells minus 1 while cleaning up someone elses mess also found a leatherman and calls just by bending over to pick up others trash.

Stay at it even the bad days are good days. Keep learning. watch the birds they can teach you alot iffin you just watch and pay attention to how they react. Always try to have fun and enjoy your time out remember life is short.

lovemylabxs you hit the nail on the head! i cant stand going to my blind that i built on a Saturday morning and finding all the s#!* people have left in it from the week. also with the respect issue too many hunters these days have no respect for the land and the sport. i hunt a lot on public land and cant stand to watch people sky bustin all day long it ruins it for everyone hunting around them. pick up after yourself respect other people and fellow hunters and HUNT SMART!

good hunting to everyone this week and weekend
