I got an invite to do some duck hunting in Nov. It has been awhile since I last did this, which was more jump hunting ducks in the canals in North Carolina. Camo clothing isn't problem but none are waterproof.

My 12 gauge autoloaders are all 2 3/4" and wood stocked. I'll probably pick up a synthetic shotgun but do I need the reach of 3" shells? I like to try the Weatherby Element or pick up another SA-08.

Friend that invited me has the decoys and dogs plus will do the calling.

Any advice from duck hunters on the forum?
