Question

Just wondering if you guys are planning on coming out with your own goose flag or pole system??? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I just don't like the brands or what I am seeing on the market as options.

Most likely. We have been kicking around a few new good ideas. If we do this will be a fall 06 item.

What don't you like about the others on the market?

Heath,

We are probably going to do something in the flag line. As of right now, we don't know which way we want to go.

Thanks,

Eric,
I don't like the amount of shine the flags out there have. It's like waving a mirror to the geese. I like the idea of Avery/GHG coming out with a flag. I would also like something that gets up there a little higher like a kite. Dakota Kid

Maybe Avery/GHG should look at developing a flapper decoy as well as a flag, I am with DK about shine on the flags out there now.

I would like to see a telescoping pole that you can use either all the way out or short and still be easy to use.

My reason for the flag post mainly is I do not like the brands that offer the flag. I perfer the longer pole most of the time for flagging in honkers also. The retractable poles are awesome. I don't like the shine either on the material because those honkers are usually looking for something to pick off. Perhaps a two sided flag that is interchangeable for Canada geese and Snow geese with the opposite side easiler concelable dependent on what kind of field you are hunting (either corn/bean/cultivated/camo color array) with a undetected color of a pole too.

I was at Cabela's the other day looking at what they had to offer. I had about two different one's in my hand and kept looking over at the Avery display wondering why don't you guys have a flag out. I left empty handed and that is the reasoning for this post. I didn't want to buy one that I feel didn't fit what I was looking for.. I want to be confident in the tools I have in the field and water

Thanks for listening and let me know if you guys come out with anything anytime soon, Heather from Minnesota [img]smile.gif[/img]

We all know how important flagging is and we have some good ideas and hope to get something going for next year. I really like the telescoping idea...what else?

It needs to be strong material. I had the wind shred three of my flags up in NoDak this year.
