    Anyone ever see a decoy weight like this before?

    Thanks for the replies, friends! I thought it to be a genuinely brilliant set up, and a pretty good looking decoy. David, I did not make to the Mast General Store, this trip. But have been many times before. It's one of my favorite places to visit in the area. We spent the last week up...

    Anyone ever see a decoy weight like this before?

    I was in Boone, NC this past week, and while there I went into an antique store. There was this canvasback decoy with a decoy weight setup I'd never seen before. Has anyone here ever seen something like this? I'm not sure how to describe it. I didn't buy the decoy. $345 was a bit much, I...

    price of vintage decoys

    Steven, if there was a "Like" button on this page, I would have tapped it for this post. Although I may only duck hunt once or twice a year now, I think of it often. I am homesick for those days spent hunting with my favorite uncle and with my old friends who have moved away. Your response...

    remington 1100 old film with Long Island boats

    Yes, Sir! They knew how to hunt. Those Cree Indian guides were awesome, too! I like the idea of the wings as decoys.
