Nice work Joe! They sure look better then when they were laying on my freezer! Looking forward to the finished product.

Thanks guys for all the ideas, need nothing with a motor, I have the motorized boat on order. I have trapped from a sportboat, I found it ok to row but iffy to maneuver with paddle, great utility boat with motor. I had a hunting buddy years ago that had a gheenoe that was quite the boat with a...

here is what I might need for a hunting spot we have came across: 2 man, a dog, decoys, light enough to paddle and not super tippy. No motors allowed type of place. Two man kayak, canoe, I will take all ideas. Have had duckers in the past and did not like the performance in this situation...

So what are the most popular sea duck decoys use utilize, what species? And within these species is there a relationship to drake to hens?

Otter. They live in abandoned beaver houses all the time and they sometimes help getting rid of the previous tenants. LOL When beaver were worth $$ and we trapped under the ice, it was common to connect with otter anywhere around a beaver house and the slide below a dam is the number 1 otter...

Liquid rubber stuff in the spray can? we spray landing nets so the hooks don't dig in and the gloves we wear doing this get sprayed, it just might work for the purpose.

I donlt know about the the 40 yammies but I have a 60 that is cold cold blooded, been in the shop, nothing cures it. I have a 40 hp evinrude etec that was on a duck wrangler I boat, so far I have zero complaints, 8 degrees if it turns over it runs, with that being said I worked on Suzuki;s years...

If you had a clean slate and were to design a foam decoy bodies, one for a puddle duck, one for divers and leave pintails out what of the current or noncurrent foam bodies do you like the shape of best? I like the Herter's 72's in puddler and diver but I could see where a keel you could grab or...

I would answer you this way: Ten of thousands of birds have been killed over painted foam, typically on just foam I have primed with a really good primer once I took off any loose old paint and then apply your new paint. They are foam they will ding up but they will kill ducks, Restle/Trestle...

Some opportunities have arose and I need to make some room in the garage: Herter's Bodies: 18 Size 72 Puddler Bodies Flat Bottoms $6/each 16 Size 63 Puddlers Keeled $7/each Heads ( Have Hundreds of all sizes) 72 puddler heads (new old stock) $5/each...

I wear the drake fleece work perfect but like said above need a belt. I have a pair of new one sin XXL if someone is that size and needs a pair, good deal to be had, im me. If anyone has a pair of breathable cabela's brand waders they may have a leak or at the point they will I would hussle...

I have hunted labs for the last 20 years and before that had a chessy, if the water was open they all hunted as long as they were not in danger of falling thru ice. I always figured if they can swim get out shake and get out of the wind that is what they do, lots of days in single digits. Labs...

The pins play the tide game here, less water more pins lol

Flying home today from of week of ducking hunting in Post Harvey Port Aransas, unbelievable destruction these folks went thru, the comeback is underway, it sure has thinned out the duck hunters, most must think the ducks got the memo about Harvey LOL Redheads are the bird, then pins, then we...

Big use for them was by the commercial fisherman that were netting under the ice. They could safely set nets and they had a way of transporting their catch.

I suspect that repair in the middle is where the previous owner had glued one of them spring "yoyo" anchor string retriever deals, there were pieces of them devices in the bag and parts of one glued to a different decoy, that's my hunch.

For sure not Herter's Heads they are not hollow and no stem. Guessing maybe a Clinton body that somebody coated with epoxy or something, they are foam with a really hard outer shell. Usually the Clinton's I have and seen have writing on the bottom no sign on these, unless it was no name mold...

Seen a lot of Herters, not a Herter's puddler body I don't think, head is for sure not a herter's by shape and no stem.

That's why I am a bit lost on these here is the bottom?

Any idea on these, they are foam with a hard out skin, and screw head that has no stem.
