a little field testing today with another friend who had never diver hunted nor hunted over flocked decoys. He was pretty stunned by how down the barrel the ducks were decoying. He got some of those high speed crossing shots into the wind and learned all about the difference between putting...

Excellent. There is a learning curve with just about every new thing we do. I started using apoxie sculpt back in my fish taxidermy days and find all kinds of applications for it. The cost of the cabochons is so inexpensive for glass and they are durable. I scrap the overspray paint off of...

we haven't been cold so far this winter, no ice to make the divers migrate. My shop is a three car garage with a very leaky double door, the single door is sealed well. I have a 220 heater too, but it's more or less there to keep things from freezing. If the temp is 20 outside it will be 54...

I'm really liking the colors I'm getting on the goldeneye hens. on the flank it's the standard goose grey all the way up to the head. On the back and tail I tried something different with dark feather grey over black rustoleum. The head is brown over brown, I wished there was a more caramel...

my nose is plugging up just looking at that saw dust. I'm horribly allergic to sawdust and have asthma, hence all the foam carving I do. I have a wood urn I'm about to start on in the next month, hopefully I'll survive it. Since I've started wearing a fly fishing shirt with a hood along with...

Book marking is a good idea on some of these posts. It' hard to run posts down sometimes. Don't hesitate to ask in the future. On my facebook page it takes me about an hour to just scroll through all the information to find some of the tutorials people ask for. I used to make DVDs of my...

First, I'll go back and talk about the basic flocking colors for the gadwall. A gadwall doesn't have a lot of base color changes, the drake is mostly a medium grey paint and a medium grey flocking. With flocking unlimited, there are like 4 grey flocking colors, I've used them all at this...

here's a link to black and white oil based paint pens. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C81B9J4Z?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1 I did a year of testing with paint pens on some wood duck decoys I put on my water feature. They went out on the last snow of winter and came back in...

I got to do a little field testing this morning. The barrows decoys were on the bench yesterday, in the water today. We had out a dozen commons and and 5 barrows decoys, only shot one barrows hen, but had to bug out at 10:30. The weatherman was promising 20 mph wind, and we do have that now...
