Good news, Linda never gives me grief about the wood decoys because her Dad carved every one of them. Well, almost all of them. There is a trophy pair that represented my previous ability to shoot good skeet, and a McGaw canvasback from a good friend's massive family rig. It was a present from him after I presented him with his last bring 'em back dog. Linda is not fond of the non wood decoys in the basement, though, since they haven't been in the water since her Dad passed away about fifteen years ago. I guess I could let them go. As for calls, even though I shouldn't be allowed to use them, they take up very little room and I don't think Linda knows about them, except the few that hang next to the kitchen door. They are there in case of the flyovers that happen regularly during the early resident Canada season. Linda thinks I own three calls, all three goose calls. I hope no one will ever accuse me of hoarding. Well, I guess there are the bird vests.
