Well crap. I'm up here near Fort Wayne and was hoping you were closer. I agree with the idea of checking into your local Ducks Unlimited chapter and get involved. I'm sure guys will be happy to show you the ropes and take you hunting, as long as you respect their spots and such.

As for identifying ducks, the apps and books are a great idea. I like the DU app and will have to check out the other one mentioned.

The key 2 words in that quote were GET INVOLVED, some guys think by joining a DU Chapter or going to the dinner some how intitles them to a bunch of invites. You will need to help on a DU Chapter committee and stay comited and involved and dont set your expectations for an invite to high, you will need to build relationships and trust before anyone will feel comfortable inviting you to a spot that they worked hard for and spent a long time getting, this may happen quickly for you, but may also take a couple years. Regardless, just being a DU member will give you good reliable resources to ask questions and the DU magazine has some spectacular tips and articals to make you a better waterfowler.
Don't rely to much on the hunting vidio's, they are more hype on getting you pumped up to buy products than to educate you on what you need to do in the field to acheive success. Try reading more books and magazines on tips and stratagies, offer to help someone work on, and get their blind cleaned up after the season (even if you did'nt hunt there this year) it may pay off for an invite next season, and of course, offer this spring and through the summer to help get the blind ready for the new season.
For example: Find someone you would like to hunt with, approuch them with some hunting questions and strike up some conversation, at the end of that conversation just through out a quick comment like: Hey, thanks for the info, it really helped, if you ever need some help getting your spot ready, feel free to ask me, I would love to do something like that. This way you have'nt invited yourself and told him you are willing to do the work to earn an invite.
Sorry if I'm a little long, but hope this helps.
Good Luck!
