I would opt for 1 3/8 oz #2 to start with, buy a couple of cases. Your waders are perfectly acceptable. I don't know how anyone can call themselves a duck hunter without at least six, hundred dollar, calls on a fifty dollar lanyard. Camo outerwear, make sure it is all new and matches so you "look" like a duck hunter. I would say you will need at least 8 plastic milk crates to sit on while hunting (enough for 4 hunters). You are going to need a pretty good chain saw and machete to cut brush to build blinds. In addition to all that, you need a duck strap, preferably custom made and a blind bag for shells, calls, chokes, oil, food and water. I'm sure you will be able to find a good retriever (already trained) for under six thousand dollars. Oh, and you will need an electronic shock collar too. Did I mention face paint and a camo hat? You will also want to get some decals for your truck so that thieves know you hunt ducks and have an expensive shotgun inside. Might as well get a barrel sticker while you are at the store. Probably going to need a 3/4 ton diesel pickup to pull the airboat, might as well get a 4 door four wheel drive so that you can take you buddies and their untrained dogs. You should get on YouTube and get all of the past episodes of Duck Dynasty to see how to really be a world class duck hunter. (Notice that they started with Benelli shotguns and are not shooting Mossbergs, but they didn't use to be seen in every isle in Walmart, so there you go.)

Sorry about that. It is in the topic title. I probably shouldn't assume that folks everywhere know the Baton Rouge actually means red stick and that a lot of people here just call it that. Should have been more clear.
To answer your question, I grew up in Valdosta, lived in Atlanta for six years as well. Then I spent ten years in WV before moving to Baton Rouge a couple of years ago. It's looks like I may well get the chance to go back to Valdosta next year. Hope so and would like to think that could be the last move. Feeling a definite pull to go back home.
Thanks for the responses so far. What's a reasonable price to expect to pay for a decent call and decoys? Don't need to go overboard but don't want to waste good money on crap.

Oh, I thought they dropped Agricultural from the name. My bad. Where do you live now?

Welcome, Padre! Haven't heard that term since I got out of the Army. It's a bit rough around here at times, but I'm sure you can handle it.
