My love of waterfowl hunting led to collecting related items also: decoys, calls, water fowling guns, duck boats etc. That branched out to building duck boats and decoys for myself and others. I also began collecting fishing rods, reels and tackle, both fresh and saltwater, knives, bows and arrows, sporting art and anything outdoor sporting related. Much of it still surrounds me but unfortunately boxed and not displayed as much. It appears that now is the time to let it go but as we all know that is extremely hard to do. I would like it to be as appreciated as it was to me. I was never interested in high grades or pristine items just those that had a history of honest use and represented what they were intended for.
