Recent trends of HUGE blind bags

The bigger the bag, the more crap your going to carry.

 

I agree. It’s insane.
My theory is since the duck hunting market is profitable in the SE part of the country, they need to make them bigger to carry a 6 pack of Mt Dew, 6 Little Debbies, and a bag of boiled peanuts.

 

I've always used a small backpack. Perfect for hanging from the roots of a driftwood stump. Room for a couple drinks, my calls and a box of ammo with room left to cram a limit of ducks in for the walk out. Couple of my friends use blind bags that they always complain about carrying.

 

Its a satchel, Indiana Jones had one...

 

Walk in hunt...small over the shoulder bag. Boat hunt...my bigger blind bag.

 

We dont pack in much anymore,(leases,private land)and since we hunt ducks and geese in the same field we stay all day alot.I bring ammo for my 12 and 20 sometimes.Water here is a must,at least 3 bottles of drinking water,extra gloves remotes for the klone,calls,extra hat if its wet out,an extra headlamp,a small pair of shears for brush.Mine is not huge ,I would say average.
When we do pack in sometimes my son and I share a backpack type bag.

 

I usually have in my blind bag:

Face mask
Hat
Two pairs of gloves
Electronic ear muffs
Call lanyard
Box or two of ammo (usually one full box and one box with whatever was leftover from the previous hunt)
Bag of jerky
Water or Dr. Pepper
Jerk rig
Miscellaneous stuff (choke tool, headlamp, hand sanitizer, knife, etc)

My bag is your typical rectangular style with a shoulder strap. It works fine, but I’m thinking of going to a backpack style so I can more easily carry it while I also carry a decoy bag, shotgun and hunting chair (really light and only has three legs).

 

It's actually, Sun Drop, not Mt Dew!

 

My blind bag consist of:
Calls
Duck strap
A bottle of water
Some nabs
Decoy gloves
Headlamp
Different chokes
2 boxes of shells, when in all reality I only need maybe 1/5 of a box.


If my kids are with me it’s X’s 3 on everything but the calls.
