My first duck season was last year and I went with him then, and then again this year, and he was great. I learned a lot and he brought in the ducks both times. Great guy and very, very beginner friendly.

That's what I tell my wife She is getting wise to it though so I'm glad I got most of it while she was still figuring it out.
