Ron, I wouldn't mind having a little winter right now, thermometer on the back patio said 105 when I came in from the shop at lunch time. lots to do indoors on the decoys, so I'll be staying cool in the craft room.

I'm am buried in ducks right now. I counted 51 decoys in the shop and in the craft room. This time of year, shop means hot place to work in summer, the craft room is in the house with air conditioning, so I always try to have something to do when it's hot. I did a little head enhancement on...

Back in my taxidermist days, over 40 years ago now, it was old school before molded bills and skulls replaced the real skull and bill. we extended a sharpened 14 gauge wire that we wrapped raw burlap around for the neck and pushed it through the hole in the back of the brain case and up...

well, we do shoot cripples on occasion, but no worries, they are solid foam. We do a lot of diver hunting and the decoys can get a workout with cripples, but repairs are easy if necessary, in general, we usually don't fix anything, those little black holes don't hurt anything. We have a hole...

my son and I are on a mission, working on decoys everyday. He does all the painting, I do all the customization, design, and flocking.

A molded decoy like yours and the damage you show could be fixed with a small amount of apoxie sculpt. You can get it on amazon and it wouldn't take a lot for just one decoy. It's a two part epoxy putty that sticks to just about anything and can be smoothed out with a little water and even...

very good work, it's spot on. Kind of like painting a wood duck, when you think you are done, you're not.

I sent you a message with a solution to patch dings and shot holes with on your private message. It's not something I'm willing to share openly.

shipping is a killer. We had an account with Fedex for years and years with a little discount, but really not enough to help. Our yearly fedex bill was over $20k. This year we switched to pirateship.com and it's cut the shipping cost considerably, they give a few options of what's the least...

yes, I remember it well. those long summer days with no night make it hard to stop doing stuff, especially when you are only a few months away from going back to night. I remember when I had a friend come up from college and took him fishing out on the Chena. He told me he was going to fish...
