I did a little enhancement on the speculum of one of the mallards I've been working on. I used a blue oil based paint pen to make the blue a little more defined. The white is hand painted with flat white oil based enamel and the edges cleaned up with an oil based paint pen,

I had some mallards on the heels of those canvasbacks and black ducks. I finally got them finished this morning.

William, my son Caleb works in a dental lab and works with a 3D printer everyday. He's going to buy the same printer he uses in the lab to print the keychains he's been selling on our website. He has a whole bunch of stuff he's going to be doing once we get that printer going.

I've never understood the want for hen mallard decoys, especially in field decoys. The mallards out here like to tuck up near or under overhanging Russian Olives. When you drive along the river all you see is the light grey and black of the drakes, you don't even see hens. Black ducks just...

excellent. It looks like they did the trick. The last time I shot a black duck was in 1984, the first time was 1978 with none inbetween. I still use black duck decoys instead of mallards even out here in the west where there aren't any.

I finished up these 6 this morning.

i might fool around with the grey over white just to see. I can use it on some of the stuff I paint white over anyway You know what it's like to flock white over white, it's still not white/white. This might be worth the try. It will no doubt help with airbrushing, much easier to go dark...

I'm fooling around with some more grey colors in flocking to get my mallard drakes a little more late season. I like the contrast. The middle one is from over a year ago and done with goose grey over half and half smoke grey and white rustoleum. It took a lot of white airbrush to get it as...

I only used a lucky duck spinner a few years about 20 years ago other than on dry grain fields. Never had much use for one in water. We had good movement with the old river keel design, but the Reinikeel is a massive improvement to the design. The side to side doesn't rock the decoy like the...

a little field testing today with another friend who had never diver hunted nor hunted over flocked decoys. He was pretty stunned by how down the barrel the ducks were decoying. He got some of those high speed crossing shots into the wind and learned all about the difference between putting...
