You could put a ton of them in a small over the shoulder carry bag the way they scrunched up when they were deflated. I have no idea what happened to those that Dad had, but I know he filled many a limit over them when you could shoot 5 mallards a day back in the 40s and 50s. He was such a good wing shooter that singles didn't light his fire and he always hoped to take a double any time birds came in. I still have the old Lefever Nitro Special my Grandpa bought for $26 the year I was born in 1947 and that Dad then got and used for many years for ducks and pheasants. It is still tight and will hold a dollar bill when shut with no problem, but there is no bluing left on it and it will probably never be taken into the field again.
