If I remember correctly I think the calf was going to be a predator calling decoy. My dad shot some snow geese one time probably in the 40's by walking beside a horse drawn hay wagon into a field of snow geese. I never asked, but always wondered how the ride was in the wagon after the shots...

what is the most outrageous thing you've flocked. Here are a couple crazy jobs I've done,

From Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SFGNMJ5?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4&th=1 I was needing eyes that were clear so I could custom color a few pairs of Oldsquaw eyes. I bought some clear eyes from a taxidermy supply and they looked exactly the same as these cabochons...

Apoxie Sculpt is the way I have set my eyes forever, Almost all of my decoys are foam, even the heads. Once burlapped I'll drill a shallow hole the size of the eye and press the eye into the hole. Since I paint my own eyes, I don't put anything behind them, just smooth out a little ball of...

my decoys will never see a competition either, but eyes aren't that difficult to put in, I've put in over 300 pairs in the last year. However there are some other options, I paint my own glass eyes, usually 12mm, they cost about a dime a pair. Another option I discovered while rehabbing 60...

well, I just sold that pair, so I suppose I should do another pair.

I've been working feverishly trying to get some decoys in our own bag now that the ducks are here in force. I did take the time to finish this pair this morning. They have been migrating around the shop for several weeks. I'm not sure about this year since things seem to be so late, but we...

I'll took a look at the AC leggs and will give it a shot. I had the goldeneye for lunch today, it was delicious, I did the soak in salt water and Lawry's seasoned salt, some onion powder, changed out the water twice until it stayed clear. I had it all cut up into finger steaks and dipped them...

Something else you might want to think about is what to wear in the shop. For pants I have stretchy sweatpants and a hooded fly fishing shirt. They are polyester 86% 14% spandex. I can pull them off easily over my shoes or respirator and keep the dust in the shop and not get the wife riled up...

we usually call it a sausage shoot, in the past it's been breakfast sausage with one of those kit mixes like we do with bear meat. It's strong, kind of like mallards. I soak in salt water, onion powder, seasoning salt over night in the fridge, put them in clean water and salt and seasoning...

That drake on the right is the first duck I've shot in the last 5 years. My chessie and my dad died in 2017 and it kind of took the wind out of my duck hunting sails. I thoroughly enjoyed today with my son and grandson and new spastic lab pup on his first retrieve.
