I'd agree on the fabric, it will help keep the silt in the existing soil from coming back up to the surface. The more you walk on the path, the more water and silt will come to the surface and all your sand/gravel will turn back into mud again. When I was a landscaper, we would over-excavate...

...got a few more decoys painted. I am no artist, but I think they'll be alright. I'm changing about a dozen of my old 'hot buy' mallards to wigeon, and some old flambeaus to pintail. The spoonie is one that Shannon painted! She wanted to paint a decoy and I told her to pick a species and...

Great day, and great shots!!! That place looks familiar :) Is that the rope swing in the background of the photo of your grandson shooting?! I've never tried that side of the lake, the wind never seems right.

That's sweet, thanks Kip!!! I have been to that museum in Alex when I was little quite a few times! I grew up in Pequot Lakes and lived there 'til I was 20. It's cool to learn about the waterfowling history of that area!

That really depends on the size of your patterns. You should be able to get at least a dozen standard size duck bodies and heads out of a sheet. Just take the square size of your pattern, say, 9"x16", and figure out how many you can get out of a sheet. Remember, the bodies take two patterns...

That's a great idea Chuck! I just started carving my own foamers this past year and man, is it ever fun and rewarding!

Now that's what I'm talkin' about Scott! Finally someone showed that there is more than just molds with pour foam or eps beads! Personally, I now prefer the blue or pink sheets of foam insulation and a dremel!!! Carving your own foamers is quite fun and as Scott said, they are entirely...

Those look great Andy!

That is one good lookin' dog! I couldn't imagine hunting without a dog anymore. Good times! The dekes are pretty cool too!

Looks great! Man, you sure like to get prepared early! I've got a long ways to go before I'm ready, but I can't wait!!!

Good for you guys! That is a beautiful place for sure! I have a spot like that called Trout Lake, up on Sherman Pass. I need to get away soon!

Finally got a minute to start working on some foamers again! I'm going to attempt a few geese and use up the rest of what foam I have for a few more divers. I tried out my new setup for cutting out my hardboard patterns and it seemed to work pretty well, as long as you go slow. I rigged up...

That is just too cool!

It snowed here this week and they're calling for 3-4" on tuesday morning! It's usually gone in a couple of hours though.

The in-laws have lived in our basement for a while but found a house and have moved on. I got my duck room back so now I have a nice warm and dry place to burlap and paint! It's very sunny out right now so the pics are bright, but you get the idea. Oh, and the plants in the window are...

I LOVE the shot of that loon!!! I grew up in MN and they were my wake up call every morning! I like the ringer too, I think they're perdy.

I never get tired of seeing your palm fronds!!! And your spatter painting is unreal! Thanks for always posting your work!

I really like it! Nice and simple and clean. I really like how the head turned out!

Very cool! I have been to Decorah once, when I was a young lad! We used to go there every year with my great grandma Cora Jacobson. I must say, I have a lot of Norwegian in my blood! How's the the Troll population down there these days?

I like it! Great project!
