I am looking to buy a blind bag for duck hunting. I think I have decided on the Drake floating blind bag. It comes in two sizes and I'm not sure which to order. 18"x11"x10"
20"x12"x11"
I don't want it to be huge but I want it to be able to handle my gear....any suggestions on which to order?

Thanks
 
Some may disagree with me but I prefer a smaller one. They are easy to stow, aren't heavy and you tend to not over pack them like you would if you had extra the real-estate of a large onr. I've been running a finisher bag for years with no regrets. Some days I have to be creative when packing it but it handles everything I need and a little extra.
 
I'm with SB. I have always used a small blind bag. They fit under the backrest of a layout blind easy without your weight on them and in a regular blind or boat blind take up alot less space. If organized well you'd be amazed how much you can fit in one. I am still using the avery bag I bought well over a decade ago. Mine is no bigger than the smaller one you listed and I carry up to four boxes of ammo if needed, usually just two though, a set of needle nose pliers, a folding knife, a multi-tool, can of rem oil, cleaning rag, bore snake, licenses, regulations pamphlet, chokes, choke wrench, calls, camera, spare layout blind seat clips and pins, headlamp, face mask, 2 sets of gloves, a toque, a couple # 4 buckshot loads in case a yote stalks the decoys(had it happen a few times), a few loose upland loads in case I encounter huns or ruffies and a bird lanyard and spare hat clipped to the clips on the bag ends and I usually throw my wallet in the waterproof license pouch inside.
 
I went through a variety of bags and have now settled on a five gallon pail with a padded lid and camo Krylon paint job! Great seat and bag in one. And cheap to boot!
 
I ordered the smaller bag and it showed up today. Now seeing it I probably could have gone with the larger size. I think this one will be good though. Certainly not worth sending it back.
