Mcnabb has hit the nail on the head. 3 things you need to learn fully, and you will be able to hang with most.
Hiding
Calling
decoy placement
Sure you can get away with half azz all the above, trust me.. I did it most of this past season. But being the way you are
I know your not wanting to settle for this. So with that being said, when you think you have enough cover, add more.
Go with the people who have been doing this for a long time, watch their calling habits.
Decoy placement aswell, watch how they set them up with wind,etc.
With as much info on the web these days, you probably can figure it out for the most part.
