Blind Bags

[LODI QUACKER]

Hello all!!!!! Give me some input on bags. Is stearn MAD DOG blind bag any good? How do they hold up? How about AVery I know this is a good one how is it different from stearns? Any others out there that compare? Or if any body has one to get rid of let me know.

I am not familiar with the Mad Dog bags. Check out the bags from Arkansas Decoy Company at their website. Final Approach makes very nice bags, too. Also, Avery makes a decent bag, but I really like the Arkansas Decoy Bag. You can tell it was designed by people who really hunt.

I have a Mad Dog bag and it's held up very good... been pretty rough with it too. The only problem I have with it is it's not completely waterproof. I've gone to a DryBox to carry my equipment in now. The other companies.. Arkansas and Avery make an excellent bag too if you want to pay the price.

At one time I considered the Avery bags a good quality bag; I still have two of the ones that were produced here in the [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]good ole USA.

On the other hand in the last year the bags are meager in quality and have troubles at the seams. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

In my years of consulting and knowledge of the production process that requires durability; your money is better spent with a company that understands waterfowling [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img], not profit margins.

Some of the additional bags that you guys are discussing do have improved construction and durability, IMO, several of them would make a fine option.

Check the construction, seams, stitching and then the quality of the outside fabric and the interior lining as well.

Finaly: Go with the one that satisfies your needs.

I've got a couple of the Avery bags and love them. I also have the MadDog bag and it's held up very well. My 2 cents.

P.S.

You're package will be shipped tomorrow. Work has been brutal this week and I haven't caught a break. Stephen (8 yr old) started football practice Monday night too.
