Shoot Your Limit

Get ready for the blind with this highly rated gear. 

1. Fake ‘em out 

For a feature-rich decoy that won’t break your back, check out the Mojo Elite Series Mini Mallard Drake, a mini version of Mojo’s King Mallard spinner. It’s lightweight, streamlined and packed with technology, including USB or battery charging and remote control-ready. That greenhead won’t know what hit him. (mojooutdoors.com) 

2.Stay warm and limber 

Sitka Gear’s Stormfront waterproof insulated gloves will keep your hands dry and warm no matter what the conditions. With a Gore-Tex membrane, elastic cuffs and toasty liners, your paws never had it so good. Like everything the company makes, these babies are expensive and worth it. (sitkagear.com) 

3. Good boy 

Built specifically for duck hunting dogs, the waterproof Dogtra 3500X E-Collar serves just as well in the marsh or field trials. Long-range transmitter, single button controls and OLED screen are just a few of the features of this expandable trainer. Keep your buddy where you want him this season. (dogtra.com) 

4. Pack a punch 

Browning’s Wicked Wing shells employ the stabilized wad system of its popular BXD Waterfowl to keep shot stacked longer and released in a controlled pattern. The shot is treated for corrosion resistance, meaning you’ll enjoy a denser pattern from longer range. And who couldn’t use that these days? (browning.com) 

5. Big, bam, boom 

Sometimes the best things are the old reliables, and the Remington Model 870 is most definitely that. It gives you everything you want in a shotgun — reliability, affordability and performance — at a price that won’t make you flinch. Hey, 11 million hunters can’t be wrong. (remarms.com)
