Thanks JJ. I knew I would get some info here. The knowledge of this group always surprises me.
Yo Big D, I'll take them!!!

Thx. Angel Let me get back, and get them packed before you start writing a check

No problem, thanks!!

Man, those are some awesome decoys guys! I had my eye on a Big Sky Carvers preening goose on the bay; it was a bit more than I wanted to pay. I debated about it for days and finally the auction ended with no bids. Then I saw it was relisted so I checked it out; the seller dropped the price by half and it sold the same day! I was crushed, but classic case of "if you snooze you lose!"

Here's a preener which I carved about 30 years ago. he's been guarding the front hall since, so is beginning to show his age.

What ever you do when displaying your decoys keep them out of the reach of your dog,they just love chewing on the beak and the tail.:cuss: J.J.

My decoys are never in range of a bird dog or a retriever. Good point, JJ.

JJ - Where were you 35 years ago? Perhaps you could have taught Abby a more respectful way to treat a Chesapeake deke

My Chesapeake Sal has a personal best of 4 decoy bills in a half hour. Not a big deal if you are a carver but some coarse language and a mild reinforcement put an end to that behavior.
