I know this was brought up a while back and there was a lot of people interested in purchasing these. Are than any plans to bring these out for the upcoming season. I know you could sell a few of them to me as soon as they are available and I am sure there are plenty of others who would help keep your inventory down.

I'd love to see a 24 slot chicken bag, 24 slot FB mallard bags, and 12 slot big honker bags, it would be slick!

We don't have it planned as far as I know, but it may be a late introduction. We have a lot of things on our plate with the new camo patterns. We needed to make sure what we have available is ready to ship on time.

Thanks,

I thought that the 12 slot FB duck bags work for the lessers?

They will work, but they are a little tight. I would buy a few of the 12 slot lesser bags, just so I can buy another doz lessers :D :D

The will work, but IMO, they are WAY too tight. I've posted these photos before, but here goes again. I know some guys are running this, but I did not like how tight they were. Might work better alternating feeders with actives, but still I think too tight. I sold the duck bags and bought the 6 slot lesser bags and couldn't be happier.

Progrades fit into the FB Duck bags great, but the ffd's like said before are really snug.

I have some six slot bags but its difficult to carry the type of numbers I want to and I can do it easily with the 12 slot bags, I really hope the 12 slot lesser bags get added

i couldn't agree more. avery needs to get this done...even if it is a late introduction. like someone else had mentioned about buying the bags then they would have to buy some more decoys....i would be in the same boat :p

I think the problem Avery has is next year the FFD's are going to come with six slot bags when you buy a six pack. If you don't have a option to buy without the bag, you will end up with some good amount of money in bags if you buy the 12 slot and already have six slots that came with the decoys.

so the pro grade lessers fit in the 12 slot duck bag? Can you fit a dozen lessers in the 6 slot honker bag?

So are the snows/blue f/bs the same size as the lessers.

The snows are slightly bigger than the lesser canadas.

The ones shown in the pictures I posted are pro grade ... not FFD's. IMO, even the pro grades are way too tight.

A larger capacity slotted bag would be very beneficial to those who are utilizing a trailer and driving into the field. I can personally say that a 18 to 24-slot goose bag would be GREAT! It would definitely make set-up and take-down much easier when running large decoy spreads. The bags would also stack up well in a trailer.

I like the idea of the larger bags also, but would they be harder to carry in? I would really like to see a 12 slot bag.

I agree with Tyson. An 12-24 slot lesser bag would be the ticket for trailer storage.

I echo what Tony, Tyson, and Rusty said. For storage, take-down and set-up, a 24-slot bag would be the ticket.

what about the pro grade lessers in the normal 6 slot bag for geese?

I would have to agree with the guys on the trailer bags(12-24 slot bags). would be great for guys with trailers or even hauling with trucks.

Mike, When you double them up they don't have the protection as 12 slots.

ya i know they wouldnt have the protection if you double them up. But i just bought a half dozen activeghg pro grade lessers and im planning on getting a half dozen feeders before the season and ill need something to haul them out to the feild with. So i was just wondering which bag i would need to get to fit 12 lessers in.

I knida like the idea of an 18 slot bag. It would not be as bulky as a 24 slot bag to carry if you had a long walk in a muddy field.

A 12 or 18 slot lesser bag is a must for the next year, anyone who has tried to carry 3-4 dozen dekes in at a time knows why and also for the way they are in the trailer

I ran a bunch of Pro-Grade Lessers and actually carried them in the 12 Slot Fullbody bags I got in my Harvester packs of Mallard Fullbodies. Speaking from personal experience, a 12 Slot bag on each should was very manageable and relatively easy to carry. Where we are, it is rare to be able to drive into a field, so being able to carry large quantities on foot is essential. The Pro-Grades are a tight fit, so I think a slot maybe an inch or so bigger each way would be the ticket.

I agree Dewayne, and I am sure Rob can attest to how we have to "carry" our decoys into the field. The more I can take in one trip, the faster we can get set up. I found myself hauling 4-6 slot bags into the field on many occasions, and it is really hard to try and keep them all on my shoulder. I think a 12 slot bag would be the ticket for the little guys.

I would very much support a 12 slot FFD lesser bag. Please let us know if this is in the works since I need bags for next year and would hold off if you could make it happen soon.

If avery got em out by fall they wouldnt be disappointed with the number of sales. I know lots of people who would buy em.
