Title: Unprepared And Behind!
Post by: guesswho on February 02, 2015, 05:08:21 PM
Just got the new 2015 Cabelas catalog.  Wow, it made me realize just how unprepared and behind times I really am.  Twelve pages of decoys ranging from fan only, half a turkey and full body strutters, swivel models and models with raising and lowering fans.  Even a white decoy.  Sixteen pages of calls ranging from box calls to calls with batteries.  Five pages of blinds.  Even a chair with a built in Ghillie suit.  And another that fits on your barrel.  Specialized optics, shells chokes etc.  Even found some boots with a built in striker holder and a holder for mouth calls and a knob to tighten the laces.  I may have to get me a pair of those along with a pair of the Turtleskin Snake Armour Chaps.  Then several pages of vests that look like something for a fighter pilot, and camo glasses. 

I don't have hardly any of this stuff and seasons right around the corner.   I'm not feeling to good about my chances this season after getting this catalog.

They offer express shipping, so you'll be alright. Hurry up or somebody else will buy it and kill the last two turkeys in Bama before you!

I think they were an option with the Turtleskin Snake Armour Chaps.

I figure I might order something off each page as a confidence booster.

I have not seen the new catalog either, but don't worry I have applied for 24 new credit cards, taken a second home loan and three pay day loans  since your post, in anticipation of the new catalog arriving.

I think if I get one of everything I should be fine, shouldn't I?  :)

I was looking at that same catalog while eating breakfast this morning.  I was thinking how overwhelmed (and broke) a beginning turkey hunter would be thinking he needed all that stuff to kill turkeys.

I have a small fanny pack that carries everything I need.  Simple is better!

I think we need to get out our single shot, break down shotguns, some 2 3/4" #4 lead shells, box calls and stop all this FLUFF.  It was GOOD for our Grandfathers and Great Grandfathers, so why do we have to take out a second mortgage on our homes to turkey hunt.  :z-dizzy:

Wow!!  Ridiculous.

I'm in the R&D phase of the new Helium filled Badonkadeke.  Fill it with the appropriate amount of Helium, let the wind blow it to a gobbler then just pull it back to your location with an attached string pulling the gobbler back with it.   Fool proof!

There is no doubt that there is an overabundance of equipment out right now, but don't strong sales benefit hunters with tax dollars?

After you get all that  stuff you will have to hire some one to carry it :TooFunny: :TooFunny:

I was looking for the new DS decoy with built in drone. Herd it has electronic caller attached and can fly over ridges calling. I want the model that can fly a hot cup of coffee out. Don't laugh coming soon :drool:

You're totally screwed, dude; might as well raise the white flag & give up.  Sorry, man, I know it's been a good run for ya.
