This is probably my favorite hunting decoy, I painted it with some original herters decoy paint. Later after the competition, the judges asked me how I got that side pocket color, I told them it was from original herters paints. It reminded them of growing up hunting with all the guys that were using herters paints back then.

I did decorative decoys too with all the feathering, I will try to post a couple of those too. This is the only full bodied decoy I have ever done.

I am trying this again, the lens must of started to get cold with the full bodied merganser. Its a balmy 36 degrees here this morning And I am trying to rotate again so it will come out correct.

Canada goose by Big Sky Carvers out of Montana. I had seen this years ago in a local gallery and really wanted it, but I was broke and it was what seemed at the time like a lot of money. The other day I spied it on the bay, and it's home at last. I know it's decorative and not a real "user" but I like it!

Nice bird. Here are two geese which live in our house. I carved the sleeper about 30 years ago, and the other began life on the Sassafras River on Chesapeake Bay. It's bill was "puppyized" by a Springer about 25 years ago, and it carries some shot marks also

Never thought about that. I do have a Mitchell goose decoy which has never been in the water. It's at my cabin up north. I'll try to get a picture of it in the next several days
