1- step in a hole deeper than your waders..I’d go if I was showed how to duck hunt
2- make sure at least one of your kids drops their shotgun in the swamp...
3- blame any misses on the sun, or the new brand of shells you're trying...
4- argue (friendly like) about every bird that drops being yours...
5- make sure to forget your flashlight for walking through the swamp or to the pit, or make sure to forget your choke tubes.... (extra points if you forget the flashlight AND the choke tubes)
6- just throw all the cash you have in the swamp. (It's how duck hunting works)
7- be prepared to tell more outrageous lies about the duck migration than your buddies! This is key to maintaining your appearance of duck slaying prowess..
8- make sure you have a wife that understands your addiction.... (this is optional, either way...just go huntin!)
9- be prepared to be muddy, broke, wet, tired, and have the most fun you'll ever have.
10- maybe don't listen to internet duck hunting advice?
