New waterfowler, I am a big bowhunter and with moving to Montana will have a good opportunity to hunt ducks and geese with the earlier bow hunting seasons. Not really sure how to get started, I don't have calls or decoys so any advice would be appreciated!

Start small. There is no need to jump in and buy the latest and greatest to assemble a super spread. I use stormfront decoys and they work just fine. As for calls you don't need a high dollar acrylic if you don't want to spend that kind of money a poly call works fine. I recommend a Quackhead J Frame. If you do want acrylic watch the classifieds on the bigger forums. You can get quality used calls for $50 less than new.

Welcome new myself so no advice but if you read through my thread I basically asked same questions and got some excellent advice. Where you live? Couple regulars live around Helena I think

Welcome aboard. DH hit some good points. The only thing I'd add is duck and goose hunting is like deer hunting in that scout, find where they want to be and setup there. That and concealment.

there is alot of good folks on here that will help you out , first thing you should do is get the book ( Ducks at a distance) and learn all you can about how to I.D ducks just so you don't get into trouble.There is different limits on Certain species learn what they are , they change from season to season. Like DH said you don't need much to get started. Good luck.
