First Time Duck Hunting

[EvinFord]

Alright duck hunters, I need some help. I am a deer hunter, but never been duck hunting. I have been invited to go duck hunting in Welsh near Lake Charles this weekend on a two day hunt. The weather doesn't look too cold, but I know you are in water some of the time which may not help.

I have borrowed some chest waders from a friend so I am good there, but is there any other advice that you can give me to make me not stand out as the rookie in the group? I brought home all my deer stuff from the camp so I have camo and cold weather gear, including a rain suit, but am I missing anything? I brought home my blaze...do you have to wear orange while hunting? To and from blind?

What advice can you give a first time duck hunter? (other than be prepared to spend a lot of money because I am going to become addicted). One of the reasons why I have waited so long to duck hunt is because I am affraid to get addicted to something else. Fishing and Deer hunting eat enough of my time and money, I am affraid to see what adding another addiction will do. Ha

Thanks,
Jordan
