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.

I've got a collection of bamboo fly rods and classic fly reels. Wildlife art prints. Wild bird, raptor and duck decoy carvings. I'm now down to just a couple wooden boats and a few pairs of Ferdy Goode snowshoes.
The internet makes it too easy to accumulate too much stuff!

I don't "collect" any one thing or kind of thing, but I am certainly a Professional Accumulator

I’ve been collecting sporting books for much longer than I have double guns. My focus has been American upland game books, but waterfowl is included.

Used to collect women but that’s a very very unprofitable hobby

My other weakness is collecting sporting prints,
I have a hard time finding excuses to buy them for, wish I had more wall space but so it goes. I have a few Case knives and a few other Made in USA knives. This is starting to sound like a confession, I had better stop ![]() |
