I'm not an expert on Victor history or styles but need some info on a couple of Victor styles that I saw this week. They are mallards with two holes in the rear of the decoy and I'd like to know more about this style with product time frame and function. The holes are under the tail and...

Just finished: Joe Johnson memorial Canvasback to be auctioned at the Kalamazoo DU sponsor banquet. I wanted to do something special to honor Joe as we approach the one year anniversary of his passing. October 9, 2012 was the day the geese flew by Joe's window at Rose Arbor and escorted him to...

I'm sad to say that a legend has passed. Joe Johnson was a special person and a dear friend. Joe wore many hats during his 48 year career as a Wildlife Biologist at the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary and all of them dedicated to the preservation of all that we hold dear. He was an educator and mentor to...

Di and I had a ball in OC and it was nice to enjoy the show for once and not have to work. So much to see and do and so many crab cakes to sample. It was a real honor to judge the World Rigs this year and share the barge with some great carvers. It was really great to get together with old...

It was a fun weekend with a great bunch of folks. Everyone went home with a beautiful decoy for the family mantel or gunning rig. AND after Di's cooking we also went home with a couple of extra pounds. Excellent job by all. It's a great place to learn to carve.
