Jode,

Awesome dekes! Will you hunt those or are they mantle birds for the den? Because the paint is soooooo nice, it's got me thinking those birds are destined for the good life, lol.

Dave, Your right on your assumption. I don't think these will make the water, but I hope that those in the rig will be sporting similar fashion.............LOL!

Mike -Kenmack Thanks................Mike probably will see you a Tucketon in a few weeks......

Nice birds Jode! Love those eider. I cut out 70 silos for eider and scoter sleds a few weeks ago and will be done painting all of them this week. What a chore! Love the sea ducks.

Hope to see you at Tuckerton this year. Will you have a table again?

Regards,
Nate Grace
 
Thanks Nate, Wow 70 Silo's is alot of paint..........Hear they work well though!

I will be down by the park beach like last year.............

Darn...everytime I start to think I got a handle on this decoy making stuff, someone posts pictures like that. Those are simply gorgeous.
 
As always, very nice stuff! I especially like the hen Eidah, she sure is purty.
You going to make Westlake 09'? Missed having you there this year!

Best to you and yours,
 
Awesome work as usual Jode. I will look for you at Tuckerton. They got a beer tent there? ;-)
 
I'd be nice to meet you Paul .......There's plenty of watering holes in town..........just take your pick.............Jode
