Rigged and ready...

Thanks Pat,

I noticed that the red heads in the picture were evenly 3 hens and 3 drakes. Just curious how you split them up.

I think it depends on the conditions that are being hunted. Personally I think what ever it takes to make the decoys visible to the ducks.

Thanks for the answer.

Pat,

The aesthetic view from your blind has to be worth the price of admission alone! You'll be pleased (I hope) to know that your interview posted on youtube was the focus of my opening lecture for my High school art class yesterday. The kids loved it, and they dove right in to their first ever working decoys yesterday!

Have a great season,
Brian
 
Nicely said Pat. I don't consider someone a decoy carver unless they can field several rigs made up of mostly their own decoys.

Building and using a rig is one of the most satisfying things going.
 
Brian - I appreciate you passing along the history of our craft. It is part of our rich American Outdoor Heritage and is crucial to pass it along.

Tod - Carving rigs is the total decoy experience. I believe the fulfillment is greater and, it makes you a better carver.
 
Dang Pat! You don't slow down, do you? Sweet decoys. I love your decoys. They look classic even while the paint is still off-gassing. Hitch
 
Thanks Hitch! As long as the Good Lord keeps me here, I'll keep using the gifts He's given me.

Thanks for the kind words Tom! I was real pleased with the hens. I can't wait to see them on the water in the layout rig...
