The cost of materials is beginning to take the fun out of making foamers a little bit. Hopefully getting cheaper energy with a new president will relax that a bit, Nearly everything I use is now double the price. I have done restle coat type, but used rustoleum for glue and fine sawdust of...

excellent work, who says an old dog can't learn new tricks. It's really nice to have decoys that big that don't weigh anymore than a plastic duck decoy. The head positions are great too.

Thanks guys. You can blame William for my presence here. We collaborate on a lot of things. He suggested this was a good place to camp out with friends. Making decoys is a creative outlet for me, but I do a lot of other things to pay the bills. I consider myself a multimedia...

beautiful mounts Noah.

William, black bear is excellent table fare when it's taken care of properly. That kind of goes with any wild game to some extent. Now mule deer, canada goose, and a few ducks I won't mention are what I call sausage hunts.

My dad killed several banded birds when I was young, he reported the bands and then dropped them in the trash. I'm pretty sure my son has no idea where his bands are, one of them is floating around my house. They will let you keep the collar from a wolf after they take the good stuff out of...
