Eric ;I lost {do to theft} 1-doz. carri-lite goose decoys, painted up as brant they all had 16 oz brass ring-basket weights all in a new duck bag .when I arrived at the state hunting checking sta . for the public draw they were still in the boat 1/2 hr. later as the drawing took place I drew a blind ,and filled out the permit form, but as I started to sort the gear about I noticed the bag of deeks took of Gone.Some one found the deeks along the highway the opposite of the way I went. the checking attendant said, some one found the deeks spread out along the road ditch for about 1 block long but no decoy bag,and he did not get the persons name. I figure that because of the re-paint job {one of a kind} they got scared and tossed them out.or maybe they don't hunt brant. ! year earlier I had a hand made canvasback drake sleeper with hand carved woodden head stolen out of my boat at the same place, I had six in the boat but they took only one, guess they needed one for their shelf collection .No sportsman here,aint that a shame OHHH Well.JUst thought I'd post this.
