I have good luck running a spread of silhouettes and Sillosocks for Canada Geese. I also have a spread of all black/white silhouettes and black/white Canada Sillosocks that brings the geese in as well.....
I also have to say that Dave Smith Decoys are way to go when it comes to full-bodies. A...
Pat,
I have a few Wildfowlers dine, just not painted yet. The painting is easier than learning to run the machine....getting it figured out with each run that I make.

I like the Specks and Canada Goose decoys! I am surprised the Canada didn't have feather stamping on it..... Great looking decoys by all of you guys!
Tim
I think your LL Bean decoys are from the 1960's.... You could always look up "Dale's Decoy Den" on the internet and send some pictures to Dale. Dale Dalrymple, the owner, is in the process of writing a book on LL Bean decoys. If anyone could tell, it would be Dale.

I have sealed up old LL Bean Decoys with West System 2-part epoxy and had great results. If the cork is in decent condition, I seal them with a couple coats of Valspar "Val-Oil" Sealer.

Bill..... I will be using that Atlantic Coast body for Eiders and Scoters, actually came across the original patterns for the Eider and Scoter heads.
I also have the original patterns for all the Oversize Mallard/Black Duck/Pintail heads.....along with many others.
So far, I am still...
Steve, I don't have a website yet. I have a facebook page, "Wildfowler Decoy Company", for now.
Pat.....I envy you getting to hunt over that rig this fall. It really will be hunting over some great pieces of waterfowling history.

Nice looking repaint on the Wildfowler Whistler. If it were mine, I would have to hunt over it occasionally.
I will be making some Wildfowler Whistlers sometime next year. I am the current owner of the Wildfowler Decoy Company.

Upgrading from the 18' Starcraft? I would suggest looking at the winches in "overtons.com". I bought a 2-speed winch from them when I rebuilt my Dad's boat trailer. The winch pulls a 3,500 pound boat onto the trailer with ease.

I am looking forward to seeing Pat's feather stamping seminar. Even though I am not into Michigan decoys, I still like the feather stamping on them.
I am looking forward to meeting some more "duckboats" guys.
By the way, I will not have any Wildfowler Decoys done for the show, but I will...
