Yak Gear Ambush Kayak Duck Blind
Kayaks are increasingly seeing double duty as great waterfowl hunting boats. While some kayaks are available in camouflage, the vast majority come in solid, often bright, colors. But Yak Gear has solved the problem of hiding you and the ‘yak from a duck’s great vision.
The RealTree Max5 camo pattern blends well with a wide variety of marsh and wetland terrain, and numerous vegetation loops allow for adding additional concealment with local grass and brush on location. The universal size and shape fits a wide variety of kayaks, canoes and small boats from 12- to 14 feet long and up to 38 inches wide. The blind is made of rip-stop nylon material to prevent tears, and it cinches down around the kayak with rope drawstrings. There are two concealment flaps that cover the hunter in a lay-out type position and easily flip open when it’s time to shoot. A large Velcro flap provides easy access to the real tank well. The Yak Gear Ambush kayak cover virtually turns your ‘yak into a large layout blind. It’s easy to put on and take off, and you can be set up and ready to hunt in just a few minutes. MSRP: $199.99.
