I think Dave Clark is the last remaining “old style” manufacturer of similar designs left.. in today’s times it’s all about production costs, quick build times and maximizing profits unfortunately.
X2 on the Sitka Waders. I purchased mine in March 2023 have hundreds of hunts thru them with 2 repair clams of my own fault. They have been exceptional. IMO well worth the investment
Beautiful Steve, stay warm up there... I have been monitoring the weather conditions up at my place in the Catskills.. it's a beautiful view for sure our river is locking up too
Eric, I would say 90% of the merchandise is factory made.. yes you will have some call makers actually make the entire product but many outsource clothing, calls, decoys and other products. The traditional root feel is long gone, in regards to Wildfowl on another note... the "Gear-Guide" issue...
Hey Eric & All!
I agree with you on many aspects and honestly have taken some steps away from FB as I found it's taken so much of my time not to mention the (Slight) addiction to purchasing duck boats / related material on Marketplace....lol but unfortunately so much has become commercialized...
Really enjoyed the boat Steve, not much surprises just yet but hides very well and shallow draft. Took some time shoving around earlier today to get used to the feel, overall really happy with it, lots of memories to be made this season & beyond!
Cozy.. opening morning & The Scooter has been christened once again! Breaking in the first Back Duck for the season along with the first set of feathers down for the A-5!
