ugh, kind of why they've been in the freezer for 12 years,

good looking group of squaws Kevin. How long did you cook those pronghorns. I need to do a pair of my own.

that's kind of genius.

it still looks pretty good. I had a lab take a chunk out of a wigeon once, looked like a shark bite.

diver decoys and shot holes, pretty typical. They probably have a little lead shot in them

That keel weight is on the same principle as some of my keel weight options, a swinging keel like that is far more reliable to keep decoys upright in wind and waves and can be attached right to the cord.

Once you catch on to what you can do with Apoxy sculpt you will be able to do a lot of detail work with paper embossing tools...

One thing the apoxie sculpt will do is give you the ability to shape the bill more accurately over the first few hours. It works better after it starts to kick a little and will hold the shape, leaving you with less sanding in the end.

Beautiful tribute Michael. Carl, my son Caleb had a real hard time getting his first drake bufflehead. Partly due to few drakes in the groups that came in and his inability to manage the lead on crossing shots. I started telling him to try to shoot the hen in front of the drake because I knew...

Kevin, I was looking at your foamer squaws today and it got me thinking when I was starting to make foam decoys. It was 23 years ago and your squaws are way ahead of where I was for several months. Of course I had no one to ask, no way to shorten the learning curve. My first ones were...

Those are some nice looking squaws. It will be nice to lay a nice drake across them for a photo some day. With your description for the make up of a group of birds, sounds like the same old hen heavy look. That said, the only species I've noticed that keys in on hen heavy spreads is...

I'm kind of wondering if that won't be a plus to have a half dozen oldsquaw. Now another consideration is about drake to hen ratio. From experience, we decoy bufflehead better to hen heavy groups, my regular bufflehead spread is 9 hens, 2 drakes. It gets to the point that nearly every one...

The oldsquaw Caleb shot was just doing a swing pass over the decoys, as if he was just hoping to find company. We see that with barrows, swing passes in range over commons, but until we put out barrows decoys we never had them land, now it's common to land them, there are a lot more barrows...

Good work on those oldsquaws, I need to make some of those by fall, we see a few here each year and they are always by themselves. It makes me think they are species specific like barrows. I'd sure like to get one, my son shot a juvie drake about 10 years ago. That's an awesome piece of...
