Bought a case of Federal Speed-Shok 3-1/2" T for those late season geese and a Cabela's Commercial dehydrator for myself for Christmas.

Decided yesterday that I need an additional 2 dozen Big Foot feeders. Got online today to check it out, holy shit, can you sticker shock. Its been a few years since I bought any, didn't realize they were building them out of gold now.
Think I'll wait for a sale.

The spring before last, the Nebraska Sports in Norfolk was going out of business and I picked up some Bigfoots for $265/dozen.

Cabela's. I go every week and monitor the bargain cave. Bought a dozen so far and a bunch of BF shells for $6 or less. Doesn't work if you need a bunch all at once. :lol:

He is also talking about the B2's, not the original Bigfoots.

The B2's would be fine for what I'm looking to do, just add some addional feeders. Doesn't look like Cabelas has any in stock right now though.

You have any issue with the mag catch? I've heard that due to the small grip you will accidentally drop the mag.

I have about 7 dozen of the older style Flambeau pintails that have held up pretty good.

That is why I bought these, $74 total with shipping. I have 2 dz storm front mallards and they've been good. Got them for $25 a dz.
