Movement in the decoys is a good thing. Now you can save your shoulder without costing yourself birds. This automated flag system duplicates realistic wing movements and is controlled remotely. Includes heavy-duty ground stakes and a flag. Requires 12v battery (sold separately). MSRP: $199.99.

Alps OutdoorZ Zero-Gravity Layout Blind

Avian-X AXF Honker Shell Decoys
These oversized Honker Shells are designed to stack tight and take up little space in your bag. Full flocking adds to a lifelike appearance, and anatomy is meant to emulate late-season honkers.

Northern Flight Field-Hunter Blind Bag Kit
Buy this bag separately or as a complete waterfowl starter kit from Cabela’s. The kit ships with the Northern Flight Field-Hunter Blind Bag, Deluxe Neoprene Call Lanyard, SLD-1 Single-Reed Duck Call, SLG Goose Call and Looped Bird Carrier. MSRP: $199.99 (kit).
