Remington Versa Max --- always a remington man
Cabelas waders and coats--- quality stuff
GHG goose decoys --- everyone was buying them i guess and they look OK I guess
G&H duck decoys---Best decoy on the market
Old 13'.6" car top boat, great duck boat---have had it for 25 + years
12' jon boat----bought it for kids to haul extra decoys out
Estate or Bluebox Federal shells or whatever is cheapest---I'm cheap when it comes to shells
C&S, Folies,Grounds, Zinc, RNT,Winglock calls, was buying calls like a drunken sailor for awhile but have come to my senses now and havn't bought one in 2 years now..................tried lots of different ones but only use a couple of them, guess everyone has their favorite....
This crowd has gone deadly silent... Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters Championship. It looks like a mirac- It's in the hole! It's in the hole!~ Carl Spackler

Shotgun-SBEII because it fit me the best. If I could go back I would have bought the M2 because I don't shoot 3.5's.
Waders-Cabelas because I ruin them every other season. Cabelas is tightening it's return policy so my next pair will probably be lacrosse's because they are the best.
Decoys-GHG Pro Grade because they take a beating and look good. Also own a bunch of G&H's because they look decent and I got them for like $3 a decoy at a garage sale.
Motor-Small Boat- 3 HP evinrude 1950's model because they always start and have a weedless prop so they are great in rice and thick weeds. Big Boat-New Yamaha because I don't want to be stranded on the big water I hunt.
Boat-small-Old Grumman Sportboat because they rock. Big- old starcraft because it is a beast and I got a good deal.
Shells-Kent Fast steel because it patterns well and kills em dead. Had too many crips with the cheap feds, estates, winchesters etc. Tried some Fiocchi's at the end of the year and I was impressed. Haven't patterned em yet but if they kill big Goldie's dead they are good in my book.
Choke-stock because I let them get close.
Calls-Crappy goose flute because I can't grunt so a short reed it useless. Killed a lot of geese with that stupid flute. Fortunately my buddy can call good.
Jacket-Striker because I like their new camo pattern and it floats so it may save me some day.
Whiskey-Pendelton or Crown because they are smooth and I get less hung over than the cheap stuff.
Beer-Sierra Nevada because I love hops.

Gun- BPS because I shoot lefty and my dad bought it for me when I was 13.
Waders- LaCrosse Breathable because I found them on clearance for $50
Coat- Cabelas 4 in 1, Got it for christmas on year, but also because it was on clearance
Boat- old 10 foot john boat I got from my grandpa
Shells- Blackcloud BB for geese because I have noticed a difference in kills and knockdowns when compared to not using it. For ducks, what ever is on sale. I usually have close shots so it doesn't make a lot of differnce.
Decoys- What ever Tola brings with! I like GHG ProGrade Floaters and G&H blue bill floaters for diver huntst
Layout Blind is from Gander Mountain. My wife bought it for me for my 30th birthday a 3 years ago.

Hunting Rig- a 1998 ford Explorer with 254,000 miles, because the thing refuses to die
