What new hunting gear is on all you boys' wish lists? I normally get at least $100 in Scheels gift cards and will be buying a magazine extension for my SBE and maybe a box of those new Winchester Elite waterfowl loads that are like $30 for 10 3 1/2 inch shells. Heard they're out of control though. Has anyone shot them?

I'm getting an Avery Finisher Layout Blind (Shadow Grass) with the snow cover.

As for shells, I've been using Federal Ultra Shock, High Density, Waterfowl loads (3" 2s & 4s for ducks and 3" BBs for geese). I know they' re expensive but my hit/kill ratio has increased dramatically from the cheaper stuff I was using before. I'm sure the Winchester Elites are awesome; anyhting that's softer and heavier than steel should be the heat.

I also got myself a Trip to Colorado and a locking hard case. I don't know if I will be getting anything for my hunting arsenal, I usually get cash for x-mas and I have some other stuff that I have to buy for work. I will get all my hunting stuff for my birthday in August, that way it doesn't sit around and tease me all year long. :lol:

Santa came a little early for me tonight. I got a new Gadwall call and a couple of swimming Mallards with Remote Controls. Not only will they look good in the spread, but they will be fun when there is down time!

Wow, I feel kinda out of place. No hunting gear this year. I've got about everything I need and the wife wanted to suprise me this year.

I got a few family heirlooms from my Dad though. I got a skull from a Grizzly bear that we found dead a long time ago and my GreatGrandfathers pistol. It's an old 38 Special gunfighters pistol. From the stories I was told as a kid my Great grandfather killed a few cattle rustlers with it back in the day...stories, who knows if they are true. Cool stuff though.

My girl got me neoprene seat covers for the truck, steering wheel cover, and floor mats.(All MAX4). Also got some sweet ass frames for hunting pics. Hopefully the best gift is yet to come tomorrow morning. Major rain today and supposed to turn into 1-3 inches of snow by tomorrow. Maybe it will push some birds into our barren wasteland.
