For beginners, and especially soloists, I’d recommend going light. A half dozen floater mallards will give you action, when appropriately applied.
Every bird species has their characteristics, which you as a hunter try to leverage. The greatest part of hunting for me was in learning those traits and figuring out when and where certain techniques made sense. Whenever you are out hunting, take a broader look around. When do the birds move about, what routes do they prefer, what species prefer what environments. When and where would decoys make sense. It can be a life long journey.
