Waterfowl Hunting Gear

A couple months ago we showed you some new waterfowl hunting gear from the 2012 SHOT show. We've scoured the internet and waterfowl hunting gear manufacturers websites and found some more new gear for the 2012/2013 waterfowl hunting season.

Federal Premium Black Cloud FS Steel Close Range

All the rave these days is "extended range" and "shooting beyond", but a virtually untapped market is close range shells. Everybody wants to be able to shoot waterfowl at longer distances. That's great, but what about the waterfowl hunters who only shoot at birds that are inside the decoys? Introducing a new Black Cloud Close Range. The new offering from Black Cloud contains 100% of the flighstopper pellets unlike their other shells that contain a mix of flightstopper and standard pellets.

This is the perfect load for guys hunting those small timber holes where ducks are either gone or in your face. The Black Cloud FS Steel Close Range is offered in 3 inch for both 12 guage and 20 gauge guns. For 12 gauge, they have 2, 3, and 4 shot while in 20 guage they have 2 and 4 shot. As with all Black Cloud ammo, best performance is achieved when using a choke that doesn't strip their Flightcontrol Wad.

Jacob Ash Textpac Waterfowl Hunting Gear

Probably the coolest new waterfowl hunting gear we've came across so far comes from the "why didn't I think of that" section. Countless times it gets hard to type when waterfowl hunting in cold weather. Really, any kind of hunting. Numb fingers make for strange autocorrects! To solve that, hunters now can text while keeping their hands warm! No more mis-spellings while using gloves. This handmuff, from Jacob Ash, allows guys and gals the luxury of typing in comfort of a warm hand muff. Useful for both waterfowl hunters and deer hunters alike!

Final Approach Up-N-At-Em Blind Seat

As our bellies get bigger, it gets harder and harder pull up out of a layout blind to take the shot. The Final Approach Up-N-At-Em Blind Seat can help with that problem. It's easy to carry and has a build in handle. The seat is spring assisted to help you sit up, but also easy to push back down to stay hidden. The Up-N-At-Em Blind Seat has a cushioned bottom to add to the padding of your layout blind and will fit about any layout blind on the market making this a hot item on the new waterfowl gear list.
