THE EXPERT | From the Blind to the Back Porch: The Time for Drake Waterfowl Gear

Jonesboro, AR – JonesboroRightNow.com – The decoys are put up. The waders are hanging in the garage. The dog is sprawled out on the porch like she’s been working overtime for six months straight — because she has.

Duck season’s over, but life sure isn’t.

Come spring and summer, the same guys who were knee-deep in a flooded timber hole at 4 a.m. are now hauling hay, planting fields, running fence lines, and firing up the smoker on a Saturday afternoon with the whole family coming over.

The truck bed goes from carrying decoys and dog crates to carrying coolers, tackle boxes, and kids. The alarm still goes off early; it just means something different now.

And if you’re anything like the guys who walk through our doors at DNW Outdoors, you don’t stop needing good gear just because the season’s over. You just need different gear. Gear that can go from the tractor to the tailgate without skipping a beat. Gear built by people who actually understand how you live.

That’s exactly what Drake Waterfowl had in mind when they built their spring and summer casual line. Same quality, same attention to detail, just built for the months between seasons.

Think about a Saturday in late May. You were up at 6 a.m. to check on the cows, got the tractor going by 7 a.m., and now it’s 2 p.m. and your brother-in-law just pulled up with a boat and a bag of ice. The kids are already in the water. Somebody’s got a brisket going. You’ve got maybe 10 minutes to change and get out there.

That’s the moment Drake builds for.

You’re not going to throw on a hunting shirt. You’re not going to dig out something fancy. You need something comfortable, something that looks decent, and something that’s going to hold up if you end up helping back the trailer down to the ramp.

Drake’s spring and summer line lives right in that space — not trying to be a fashion brand, not trying to be workwear, just built right for the way guys like you actually spend their off-season.

We’ve gone through the full lineup and pulled out 22 pieces we think you’ll actually wear, whether you’re headed to the river, the back forty, or somebody’s backyard cookout. Find the lineup on our online store here.
