Few tables remain, walk ins looking to sell, trade or get something appraised are encouraged. We will also have a Lake Koshkonong decoy display with people share a lot of the new research we have uncovered in last few years.

Brandee whelped her litter just over a week ago, 5 boys and 4 girls. All are very active, persistent and most were big pups. Going through this my first time has been a little daunting but have a great network of people that have assisted me. Here are some shots from Sunday at 1 week old.

yesterday, so now its a waiting game. but have the whelping room all ready. Went down to a friends last week to watch a litter so I least could see all the things I read and have been told. she looks like she is going to pop.

Big thank you to everyone who showed up, pass info along or in some from supported it. We had a very good turn out this year. and hope that continues for years to come.

this weekend? Looks like I will be driving down for it again this year.

I posted in the event Calendar the upcoming Edgerton WI, Decoy Show information. Stop in and check, a Big bore gun display, regional Lake Koshkonong decoy display, modern carver's decoys, vintage decoys and tons of other sporting collectables. Not to mention a handful of other duck boats.net...

Picked up Brigitta vom Vogeljager yesterday. She and the old dogs are adjusting nicely so far. Very nice litter top to bottom, mentally all exceptional, all very active, one or two coats that were a little loose but think they all will be excellent hunters. "Gitta" stood out with her...

I am a gluten for punishment. 3 weeks till I get another daughter of Cato(avatar) Female in front and 2 on the left side. enie meenie mynie mo......... Below is Brandee, she will be half sister to the pup with very similar lines.

We own 110ac on a state hwy in the heart of the prairie pothole region. About 50ac is in wetland easement with USFW the balance is in grass. The property is bordered on the north by a State HWY. As people that have been out her can attest pothole levels have been high for a number of years, when...

There was a post that resurfaced about favorite bluebill decoy not long ago. I got thinking with Pats recent post about the St Charles show what are some of the decoys that inspire me. My favorite canvasbacks. John Graham, this is probably from his heyday as a carver. Clean smooth lines...

Doing research on some decoys. Would you agree all heads pictued below where made by the same carver, over a period of time possiby? Anyone recognize a particular region in the head style? Time period? or Carver? Thanks

Time to order more wood and paint, so I need to sell a few birds. These are carved and paint by me, made of high density cork, white cedar heads and Golden Paint, they all self right. The top bird hasn't been hunted over and the rest have seen minimal use. $300 for all plus shipping, will...

I picked this shorebird up this last weekend as we were packing up my brothers booth Saturday. A guy was walking around with a few unkown to him decoys, this one was unkown to me as well, but I bought it anyway along with an early daddy holly decoy body. I know very little about shorebirds and...

I would love to find a turn of the century workbench out of a carvers shop, but I know thats going to be like a needle in a haystack. So I would like to see if anyone has pics of old timers shops, so I can get idea what they would have been using. I am looking to put it in house and use as...

Any of you have pics of the blinds or concealing the boat. I have some ideas rooming through my head and would like to see what others are doing. I have been using raffia grass nets and looking for something different. Thanks bill

My Family was in town this weekend, after the first day of pheasant hunting it was time to take my 12yo neice out for some duck hunting. Last year she shot a sandhill for her first bird ever. This year she really wanted to shoot a canvasback and a redhead. So we headed onto the prairie and...

After a few years of wanting, searching and designing in my head I bit the bullet this summer and had a custom dolly made. There are sloughs and areas that require significant walking and when your hunting with 2 balsa dozen decoys and other equipment, some of the longer hikes are out of the...

I drive 40 miles to work each way, One route I take, is smooth state roads and I drop out of the pothole region at 5 miles and look at farm fields the whole way. Not bad when scouting for snow geese or mallards, but this time of year I like to take the route for 20 miles up through the coteau...

Didn't get it over a dog, but after trudging through mud and snow for miles on end today, I was happy to shoot a Lessor. Been a very good KS trip this year. I will give you details when I get back.

both dogs down with giardia/bacteria, bathroom break every hour on the hour. I don't feel right going out without one of them, so I took the day off and its painful for me as canvasbacks are late to leave and some redheads are still around. Before it hit Cato I shot this one on our property...
