My wife has recently become interested in duck hunting, specifically she wants to eat lots of ducks and the thought of shooting them herself doesn't bother her nearly as much as the cost of buying them. Anyway, I'm happy to encourage this, but I've never hunted ducks, I don't own any shotguns appropriate for this (mine are HD Mossberg 500 and 590a1), so I have a couple of questions.
What's a good shotgun for her to get started, semi-auto, pump, or double/single shot? She's fired our 12 gauge pumps before with no problems.
She's primarily interested in duck and goose hunting, but might want something she could later also use for turkeys.
Is there a class (other than hunter's safety class) that would help her get started in this?
She would be interested in her first "hunt" maybe being in a guided excursion sort of environment, does anyone here know of a good outfit that would be good for that, somewhere in NE? We spend a lot of time in VT and ME, so really anywhere in New England would work for her.
Thanks.
