These are all sold, but wanted to show the full bodies since they are a new thing in our current line. The pipe will be cut off, but it's handy to have a handle when flocking and painting. It's kind of hard to see the russian olive in the mouth of the hen behind the drake with the acorn. Russian olives are everywhere around here where you find wood ducks.

Caleb and I are in the middle of hundreds and hundreds of plastic decoys that we are rehabbing, repairing, flocking and painting. That activity has been consuming most of our time recently. I'm finishing up some customs that are already on order and even took the time to finish up a project I've had going for well over a year. This butt up feeder wigeon will be something that will definitely be a part of my decoy set. This decoy is just under 22 ounces, self righting as as you can see has good movement in light wind. I'm not sure when we will be able to make them available for purchase, I need to get through my current orders first. We have about 5 weeks before we will start duck hunting and right now we don't have hardly any diver decoys, so the pressure is on.

ALL ARE SOLD. I've been playing around a little the last few weeks. Figuring out new poses, we have too many variations to count. I saw a photo of a bluebill in this pose, it made me think of him greasing the undercarriage. Some days it just seems like everything is just upside down and this wigeon sends that message. The mallard is the riddle, how can you have 6 hens and 6 drakes and only six decoys. I've always got some craziness going on in my head as far as poses and a few more to come.

The bluebill will be migrating to Ohio to be with his friends who went out today. The mallard is going fly off in a day or two, landing near the Trinity River at the home of one of my carving friends.

Migration to Ohio has already begun for this pair of wood ducks along with 5 more of his friends. This is another chase pair, this time in wood ducks. Wood ducks can be pretty active, lots of fighting and chasing. This one is set to work as a pair on a jerk line or individually. When I make my own, I'll likely put swim keels on the lead bird. I'm going to call the pose on the lead bird, "skedaddle". Wood ducks, wigeons and many other birds of all kinds have a lot of fight in them. I like to design around species behavior to get that animation with otherwise stationary poses. The second bird is a scolding pose which I've been doing for years. Decoys should tell a story, there are plenty of tin soldier plastic decoys out there, I just like a little more attitude.
