id not have the cash to hire a guide they want a few hundred bucks i just figured once i knew what to shoot and some basics that i could go do it to relax just not sure which birds taste good lol
If you don’t know anyone that would take you your best bet is go with a guide. You might not even like it. You’ll spend more buying crap you don’t need than what you’ll pay a guide.
Teal
Gadwall
Wood duck
Pintail
Mallard
In that order for taste imo

Go to these places.
Ducks at a distance.
Great site that gives the caratistics of each bird how they look, flying formation, habitats, and eating quality.
The refuge.com
Duck hunting chat.com. Both sites are dedicated to duck hunters. You will learn enough to get started. Since each area is different and birds behave different in different parts of the country. Pay attention to the state forums.
Fried mergansers with gravy is hard to beat
