Nah I hate this time of year. Traffic, people everywhere, Christmas music on the radio for a month. Also the fact that it's creeping into and trying to take over November as well pisses me off.

Right there with us... Love giving gifts, but hate the Christmas pressure.

Dozen cabelas real image plus blue bills.
They're pretty quality construction. Much better than the basspro deeks I have. Also was a surprise that two of the drakes are swivel heads.

Also picked up a couple slotted bags bc I've never had them before and wanted to see what all the rage was about. :lol: we shall see.
Got a 6 pack of Bigfoot B2 canvasback drakes on order that they didn't have in stock too. I'll have to go pick those up in a few days I reckon.

I hope they hold up better than the real image ones I bought. Worst paint adhesion of any decoy I've owned.

From the reviews I read people were pretty happy with the paint jobs.
Maybe they had changed the formula.

Probably changed suppliers. My RIs were from the period when Avery made them and looked good but didn't hold paint.

Haven't made the purchase, yet, but after this morning's struggles with a small-gutted backup speck call I've not run in a year - or two, I'm definitely going to pick up a poly Riceland with guts I can tweek to match the ones I normally use. Was the only time I can recall actually using one of my backups in over 30 seasons of guiding, but I'd be embarrassed to have such blips again, particularly with strangers in the pit.

I've never used the GPS model but IMo Tritronics is the best. So I bet it'll suit your needs just fine.

Nice, I've only shot one and I really liked it. I think once you get passed the non conventional looks it's a great gun.

This remains to be seen. But he was plainly lost when his "brother," our old Brittany passed last Summer and is friendly with other dogs, so I'm guessing he'll be fine with it.
