I've seen rattlers around here a couple of times in October while deer hunting and chukar hunting. I figure by this time of year they are beginning to congregate around denning areas. Our temps right now are pretty average for this time of years, but here in South Central Idaho we need some...

I spent the morning roughing out some specks and a canvasback. It's high level static cling out there right now.

yep, that's why we live out here. Those brownies aren't bad, better than the average, my favorite trout on a fly rod. Our sage grouse has kind of gone in the tank here, we used to hunt them a lot, almost like big game upland hunting. Love the country out here, I lived in Alaska awhile, I tell...

Lots of stuff in the works in the shop these days. Weather is great and there are no ducks here yet, a good time to get some stuff finished up. I've got a pintail/mallard in a new pose, I'm well over 50 poses now from one pattern, I'm calling this one the "sleepy scratcher". It's kind of like...

As far as high tech, at one point we had designed a flocking booth that would have shortened the dusting process and contain the flocking much better, but once I moved my shop back home I didn't have the space. The big deal with flocking is painting the glue on, that's what takes time and there...

There are several guys on here capable of a first rate paint job. You might want to post this on the main forum. Most of the cork and wood guys seem to hang out there.
