Hodgman waders
These waders from Hodgman are vital to getting into those hard-to-reach sloughs and marshes. The heavier, fleece-lined waders are designed for those days when the mercury drops and will keep you warm and cozy in the blind. The two breathable pairs are designed for hunters who are hunting on milder days or trekking long distances to reach their secret holes.
Left: W840MX4—Fleece-lined Dura-Mag 1200; Middle: W903MDB (or SHG)—Breathables with lace-up boots; Right: W950MX4—Breathables with zipper
For the young bird enthusiast
Children love interactive toys, so why not share the wonders of North American bird populations with them through the sights and sounds of the birds and their habitats? Birdscapes: A Pop-Up Celebration of Bird Songs in Stereo is an immersive birding experience for everyone who loves the outdoors. The pop-up landscapes and natural sounds bring regions such as the Eastern Deciduous Forest, Sonora Desert, Cypress Swamps and Arctic Tundra to your living room.
Stocking stuffers
Avery® Floating Duck Strap—GUARANTEED TO FLOAT!
This game strap has every feature the Avery Pro-Staffers wanted, at a price too good to believe! Heavy-duty camo 600D polyester face, no-slip rubberized neoprene back, ¼" closed-cell foam flotation and ABT air cushions for total hand and shoulder comfort. 3/8" powder-coated stainless-steel wire loops with Avery® Loop Lockers hold birds' heads securely. Extra-large swivel snap=hook for hanging strap from your vest or jacket. Available in Mossy Oak® Shadow Grass®.
Coleman® Mini Headlamp
It may be exceptionally small and lightweight, but the new Coleman® Exponent® Mini Headlamp is also very bright, thanks to the latest LED technology, combined with a new design and lithium battery power. This tiny headlamp isn't much bigger than a watch face and weighs only 1.4 ounces. Yet it produces 75 lumens of light.
Avery® NeoBottle—Nothing destroys a vacuum bottle faster than a dent!
That's why Avery developed a foolproof way to keep your coffee piping hot for hours after first light. As part of Ducks Unlimited's Rescue the Duck Factory campaign, you will receive an Avery® NeoBottle as our gift to you for a donation of $45 or more. Learn more now.
