Nc public land hunter, first time.

Do you use a boat? How would one go about duck hunting? I imagine it's better in groups.

Yeah, you can use a duck boat, kayak, or find a hidden beaver swamp. Usually more fun with a buddy. Having other knuckleheads try to set up near you isn’t fun since they’ll call/shoot/scare your ducks !

Yeah I'd love to do it myself. I've only ever hung them up in a barn and butchered outside. I imagine it can be done. Maybe YouTube can help with some videos. Thanks man

Yes sir Youtube is a huge help! That's how I learned the basics but you will develop your own preference for cuts after a few times.

I do recommend leaving the cuts as large as possible for freezing whole then cut into steaks and small cuts right before cooking. Saves on loss from freezer burn and trimming!
