FINAL APPROACH DECOY RANGE
TOM RACZ, HUNTING & FISHING NZ, INVERCARGILL
Final Approach is a brand a lot of waterfowl hunters will be familiar with and after an absence from the New Zealand
market for several years, where it would be fair to say, other brands surpassed them, some new designs and added
features have put a small range of Final Approach squarely in the 'must have' mix for 2023. Looking back, some of my
first decoys I ever purchased were Final Approach as they have always been a quality decoy that really lasted well.
In fact, they once led the market with the introduction of packs that contained a range of different head postures, a
major point of difference at the time.
Options to check out for 2023 include the 'HD Black Ducks' and the real standout for me, the
'Live Fully Flocked Floating Mallard 6 Pack'. These decoys are so realistic they will fool you into
thinking live ducks have landed in your spread, hence the name. The combination of the proven
head positions that replicates the natural behaviour of ducks on the water, the feather detail, true
to life paint scheme, and being fully flocked make these decoys pop. The Final Approach Mallards
will quickly become your favourite decoys in your spread. They are exclusive so check them and
the rest of the range at your local Hunting & Fishing New Zealand store!
HUNTING & FISHING NZ THERMAL MUG
THERESA MORRIS, HUNTING & FISHING NZ, HEAD OFFICE
While the weather on opening morning has been very mild the last few years, we did
have a particularly cold second morning last year with fog over frost! We were very
thankful for the thermos and the hot drinks to keep our hands warm in the maimai and
this year the FREE added value item with adult game licences (see page 9 for more
details) is a 20oz thermal mug (almost 600ml or equal to an extra-large coffee) which
will be perfect to chuck in the blind bag for such an occasion. This mug will also be ideal
for the commute to work or on the
side-line at winter sports!
Manufactured from powder
coated stainless steel, it will blend
in while keeping your cuppa warm
for up to 6 hours, or if you prefer a
cool bevvie your drink of choice
will stay cold for up to 12 hours.
Perfect for when you get distracted
as now you won't find your coffee
has gone cold when you return
to it.

you are least prepared. Each

Zealand aim to add a great item as
a no-charge bonus for purchasing
your hunting licence in-store. This
