What would you say has been the greatest innovation or improvement in waterfowling or waterfowl gear in the last 10-15 years?

Love 'em or hate 'em I'd have to put the mojo towards the top. Sure they don't always work for every situation but it's no doubt they have led many birds to their demise.

Mojos have been around longer than that.
Definitely the wet wipe.

Corn cob decoy or maybe my life size cardboard cut of eric haynes I prop up against my truck before leaving the dock. Keeps him onshore looking at it like a monkey in the mirror.

I guess I can't really say then since I haven't been at it that long to know what has changed. Maybe clothing or improved neoprene waders? Cool thread Gila.

I would not think mojo is more than 15 years old. I'm not sure.

I'm thinking right at 14 or 15, at least on a national scale. Don't know about wet-wipes.

So-called "breathable" waders should be right up there, even if it does enough layers of the so-said "breathable" membrane that they're damn sure not to make them waterproof.
