I thought it was going to hurt a lot more than it did...

Think of it as adding character... Nice decoy(even with the shot)

My thoughts too. It's a proven duckin' veteran.

It makes it an Offical Decoy. You coming to Ohio to hunt?

 

[Terry Desilets]

I apologize I haven't called! I'll call you in the next week to discuss freeloading off you again!

 

[Tom Modin]

Mr. Desilets if it bothers you remove it from service and send it South I will hunt it!!!! Decoys are decoys a tool of hunting if they get shot they performed without flaw. I tolerate no duck in the blocks with it's head up while it is legal shooting time. The only duck allowed is a Susie now and again, they can grace the spread unscathed any other bird and it does not get the chance. Win win situation comes to mind. A bird was shot and you get to enjoy working on a decoy.

I've said before a good retriever saves decoys. You with an upland dog, what gives with that? Our pup is doing great!

Look on the bright side: You gun is patterning really well at that range, that is one DEAD canvasback decoy, about 8 pellets in the kill zones.
And its now a decoy with a lot more character, as if it didnt have enough already. That is one nice can, great job.
Plus the buffie didnt get away.

When diver hunting, sooner or later, the decoys take some shot. Its all part of the game.

No kidding Carl, I count 7 in the body, 1 in the neck, 2 in the head not counting the bill-shot.

Thats a nice pattern Terry...technically a water swat but still...nice shootin' pilgrim! Dead duck.
