Waders &/or Waterproof Boots (waders are best): Essential for navigating wet and marshy terrain.

Weather Gear: Pack rain gear, gloves, and a hat to stay comfortable in changing weather conditions. 

What To Bring:

Shotgun: Ensure it is properly cleaned and maintained.

Ammunition: Bring an adequate supply of shells suitable for waterfowl hunting. Most of our clients bring 1/2 - 1 case of steel shot shells per hunter of 3 or 3 1/2 inch. The best shot sizes are B, BB, or BBB. The larger shot sizes seem to work the best.
