Love the side heads that are being posted. I may need to figure out how to get in on that action with some of my birds.8 drakes and one hen GE ready for a quick eye cleaning and paint
I did something somewhat similar. I made my nephew and niece a decoy of their first duck. A drake gadwall for him and a hen wood duck for her. That gadwall decoy was the one that I really felt like I figured out how to paint them on. A couple of years ago I made him a pair of magnum cork gadwall for his rig. He hunts them every time he goes.I made this hen gadwall for my baby sisters college graduation gift. I’ve only been waterfowling for a couple of years now. Short enough to remember my first duck, which was a gadwall hen that my sister saw before me.
This is my fourth decoy I’ve carved and painted. It is pink foam body, basswood head, walnut shell restle coated, and painted with Steve Sanfords Behr paint schedule.
Bomber nice work! I like the rack they sit on keeps them nice and organized8 drakes and one hen GE ready for a quick eye cleaning and paint
I like the motor since Mercs hate me I also love the Yamaha motors. This was on the boat when I got it. No issuesLove the side heads that are being posted. I may need to figure out how to get in on that action with some of my birds.
completely off topic.... how you like that suzu outboard? Im going to need to replace my 08 opti in the next 5-7 years I think, and Im already looking at suzuki motors. I keep hearing really good things, except that they are slow due to the gearing in them. But I think they just just released a new gearing system this year to compete with the yammies and mercs
Thanks PatBomber nice work! I like the rack they sit on keeps them nice and organized
lol mercs hate a lot of people. If you aren’t pushing a Merc to almost the rev limiter, they don’t like anyone. An old man told me a long time ago, if you ain’t runnin a Merc like you stole it, you better be good with a wrench. Since I’ve made that a priority and I’m always writhing 200-400 rpm of the rev limiter and ive really had no issues with any of them.I like the motor since Mercs hate me I also love the Yamaha motors.
