Yesterday I had two birds flush no more then a few feet from me. I couldn't shoot. The Sun was smack straight in my eyes, if the birds were the size of elks I still couldn't have done a thing.

I do wear sunglasses. I wear cheap ones that I buy at drug stores. One reason is that I am hard on them. I loose or break them all the time. I know that there are "special" sunglasses that are suppose to help hunters. They do cost more, but I am willing to shell out a few extra bucks if they do indeed help.

Does anyone here use those fancy hunters' sunglasses? If so, how well do they work? Do they really mitigate sun glare or a cheapie ones just as effective?

Thanks in advance.
