Thanks for the great comments guys. If I have inspired any of you to paint, carve, or think about great memories hunting Wood Ducks, I would say my "decoy" is already doing it's job. Just trying to be an advocate for what someone so aptly coined as "This Movement" back to traditional style...

Wisconsin has a huge population of Wood Ducks. They have been a great success story over the years and provide for a big portion of our opening day enjoyment. Some years openers are slower than others, but if you stick it out all day, chances are you will be rewarded with a few Wood Ducks just...

See you in Strongsville...

no gargbage...no racoons. I accept beer and cash.

This sounds like something that needs to be discussed, in detail, in the wee hours of the morning, in Strongsville. Terry...will I be seeing you soon?

You guys are welcome. Thanks for the responses. Terry - If you look at the bottom photo...you'll find that the eye is looking right at you! I set them so they are parallel with the surface of the head in that area. They aren't twisted in the opening, up, down, or forward.

Drill a clean hole. I use a brad bit and start with the drill in reverse to cut the perimeter Use two part epoxy to set the eye It hardens quick and the placement of the eye isn't confused by trying to fill at the same time Fill with latex sandable...

Welcome aboard Steve. I've seen that video before and always thought you were a cool cat.

Sean - All I gotta say is... dude you are the master.

This is the last in a series of "Wardish" drake divers for Mr. Hancock...

Brandon - I like the consistent and unique eye groove on those mergs. That's an elemnt of your style. It ties the whole group together and brands them. Nice Wish I could be prolific as George...can't wait for "retirement" to decoys full time. Also good to see new folks trying their hand at...

I like the fact that there is a calculus problem worked out on the chalkboard...

Great to see them in action. Nothing like seeing a MLBob hen on the water. She looks like she's gonna get up and fly away.

It's because their little backs are a tough nut to crack, but it looks like you nailed it. Bring him to Strongsville and we'll throw him in the pool while we're breaking the place in....

Kristan It was so kind of you not to mention the name of the harried shooter. "That guy" has a pile of my decoys now, so maybe they will land right on the end of the barrell. Great photo by the way...

Guys Great to see you out having some fun! Wish I could have been in the boat and the shop...
