The show went great, thank you members for providing advice and input last year. We had over 100 attendees and were sold out of vendor space. Lots of nice decoys were bought and sold, including quite a few Angers. The show raised $434 for the Dunnville Hospital and Healthcare Foundation. We...

Good morning all, The Dunnville Decoy Show is all set to go this coming Sunday Sept 10. We have been sold out of vendor space for quite some time and are looking forward to hosting this first time event. If you're in the Southern Ontario area please come out and see some decoys! Details below...

Thank you all for the input. Co-chair and I met over the weekend and firmed up some direction. We intend to keep it small and will hopefully have an official announcement and flyer available for the New Year. We are fortunate the venue is County owned which keeps our overhead costs very low. I...

In discussion with a few other local collectors and carvers, we have decided to host a one day decoy show in September 2023. We are looking to highlight the decoys historically and contemporarily carved here in the Dunnville Ontario area. We have secured a venue and are working on next steps...

I have the Sitka face mask in a couple of different camo patterns and have been very happy with them. It only covers the bottom half of the face but is light weight and has an opening for your mouth to call/drink coffee. I find it stays up fairly well but I also tuck it under the Walker Ear...

This is looking great! Nice work. There's one for sale down the road from me...wish I had the time and funds for another project. Looking forward to seeing yours come together.

Got some eyes set yesterday morning.

I?m not familiar with that carver. A quick search shows a can he carved in the late 80s sold at auction for couple hundred bucks. There are a couple good facebook groups about Ontario Decoys if you want to find out more about him. Search ?Canadian Decoy and Outdoor Collectible Association? and...

I have been watching those intently, hoping the price stays in my realm especially with the US dollar and shipping back to Canada. Nick, your decoys are really nice! My collection focuses on the Dunnville area (where Anger resided), and am fortunate to have a few Anger knock offs and one Cecil...

Decoy Carving Open Workshop Drop In - Saturday February 19: 12-4pm, Lowbanks, Ontario. I've been carving for a few years and want to connect with other carvers to improve our skills and encourage hunting over carved blocks here in Southern Ontario. Saturday February 19th I will be in my...

Migration is behind schedule in southern Ontario. Divers are arriving in better numbers on Lake Erie, and the teal and wood ducks are finally starting to move out. Through the grapevine I heard that the Long Point waterfowl unit harvest is at least 600 birds below what it was this time in 2020.

I have been using the walkers electronic muffs for two hunting seasons and am quite happy with them. Still allow for conversation on the duck blind, calling, and can hear well. My only annoyance is how they get in the way with facemasks, hats and beanies in colder weather. I keep an extra set of...
