I have the Drake double banded blind bag. It came with a shell pouch that that you attach to the bag as seen on the left side in this pic...



I never attached it to my bag. Last year I left my dove vest in a buddy's truck and had to use the pouch on my belt for a quick afternoon hunt. What have I been doing with my life? All I need is another one for my other side!

I scour ebay and google in general and found nobody selling just the pouch. I called up Drake and the lady I spoke with said she gets my call/question quite often, but unfortunately they do not sell them separate. Solid business plan.

Please feel free to bitch about Drake as a company or offer any suggestions.

I know about Filson, that's what my vest is. However, just a shell pouch is a little out of my budget for this particular impulse buy. I really only need 1 detachable pouch to balance my other side.

Yeah, that's all I really need. I can't really tell how big it is. It says 8.5"x 8", but what's the 3rd dimension? 16" deep if 8.5x8 is the opening?

I like this.



But only one box is kinda small. The drake one I've been using drinks 2 boxes of 12 gauge shells dumped in easily.

Subtle.


I have one of those off of a Drake bag also, I love the spring loaded top.

Thank you.

I was looking at military surplus stuff, but I couldn't figure out the right size/name for what I was looking for.

I really like my vest, I've had it for 20+ years. It's great if I'm walking around for quail or squirrel, but for dove I always just have a pile of crap by a tree. I much prefer a belt attached pouch or two in that scenario.

It's the best product I've found from Drake. It makes sense they wouldn't sell them individually.
