Don’t Leave Home Without It
A good morning in the duck blind comes down to preparation. Forget one critical piece of gear and you’ll spend more time wishing than shooting. Here’s our no-nonsense checklist for Georgia waterfowl season.
The Must-Haves
- Shotgun & Ammo: 12-gauge with modified choke. Steel shot #2 or #4 for ducks, BB for geese
- Waders: Chest waders with insulated boots — the water is cold in December
- Decoys: A dozen mallard decoys minimum, mix drakes and hens
- Calls: A good single-reed mallard call. Practice before the season
- Blind Bag: Shells, snacks, license, hand warmers, headlamp, and a thermos
Stay Warm and Dry
Georgia mornings in duck season can be bitter. Layer up with moisture-wicking base layers under your camo. We carry Drake Waterfowl’s Guardian Elite line — it’s the best cold-weather waterfowl gear we’ve ever stocked.
