Because way back in my early years i couldn't afford to buy decoys, i ordered cork blocks and carved them. Did this for many years as my friends that i duck hunted with always were asking me to make some for them. Have a few left that ive made and will keep for my two grandsons. I particularly enjoyed making them out of high density cork blocks.

I was not previously aware of this, but according to my wife, I collect everything.

As long as she lets you collect, why say anything!?

Nope. Once a month, I put the backpack blower on and give it all a good dusting.

Atleast your wife understands the concept of “collecting or accumulating” . That whole concept is lost on my Filipina wife lols ! She says when o go to a shoot it’s “socializing” not shooting and to be honest to a degree she’s correct .

Some of my collections are extensions and additions of my grandfathers and fathers as well. Marbles, tops, bamboo fly rods, sxs's, tools, knives, and vintage 28 gauge shell boxes are my interest areas.
