Gearing Up for Waterfowl Season: Must-Have Gear from The Fowl Depot

Gearing Up for Waterfowl Season: Must-Have Gear from The Fowl Depot

As summer rolls on and those crisp fall mornings start creeping into the forecast, waterfowl hunters everywhere are counting down the days until the season opener. Whether you’re chasing early-season teal or holding out for those big northern honkers, having the right gear can be the difference between a good hunt and a great one.

At The Fowl Depot, we’ve got everything you need to hit the field prepared this season. Here’s a quick rundown of some must-haves to get you dialed in before that first flight breaks the treetops.

1. Decoys That Finish Birds

You already know that a good spread is key. Whether you’re running a full rig of honker shells or a lightweight teal spread for walk-in hunts, we’ve got you covered. We offer high-quality decoys built for durability and realism. Make sure your spread is set to fool even the wariest birds this year.

2. Game Calls That Bring ‘Em Close

Having the right call on your lanyard is like having the right lure in your tackle box—it matters. We’ve stocked some of the top names in duck and goose calls, with options for beginners and seasoned callers alike. Need help picking one? Just ask—we’re happy to help you get the right tone for your flyway.

3. The Spread Edge Flagger System

Looking for that extra edge? Our very own Spread Edge Flagger System is designed to bring motion to your spread, turning curious birds into committed birds. It’s been tested by hunters in the field and built to last season after season. If you haven’t added motion to your setup yet, this is the year to do it.

4. GunDog Training Gear

Bringing a young retriever to the blind this year? We’ve got bumpers, whistles, leads, and other gear to help sharpen your dog’s skills before that first retrieve. A trained dog makes the whole hunt smoother—and more fun.

5. Apparel Built for the Blind

From waterproof gloves to durable outerwear, stay warm, dry, and concealed with our field-tested hunting apparel. Comfort in the blind keeps you sharp and ready when that flock swings around for one more pass.

6. Accessories & Essentials

Don’t forget the small stuff—face paint, shell holders, blind bags, and more. The little details can make a big difference in the field.

Get Ready. Stay Ready.

We’re just as excited as you are to get back in the marsh, fields, and blinds this fall. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or gearing up for your first hunt, The Fowl Depot is here to help you make the most of the season.
