Muthagoose Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks much for the kind words.. Tyler I will be coming to ND this fall just waiting for the mallards to pile up and its ON.. Ive already started to resculpt new heads and have new ideas for full bodys.Ill try and get a little video of them in a windy field. Might be best to do this along crop field shoreline in ND???? I hear the water reflects differently there and it would be the ultimate test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booger Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Nice work! How much do you charge for your decoys? I'm wondering the same thing, afraid to ask - they certainly don't look cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muthagoose Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 I down sized the buffs this year to a litte mag size from the jumbos from last year..

They sell pretty good for mantle blocks at Christmas which is why I make few now and then... I will get the hens foot painted soon.Go figure... Hope'n to get to painting the wooducks next week.

Muthagoose Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Finally getting to paint the wooducks today.. Thinking of doing/adding one or 2 speicies to my list this winter.. Thinking of pintail,wigeon,gadwall,Blue or Greenwing teal.Was kinda considering Spoonies but I dont see them to much and am wondering if they would be worth the time to scuplt heads for..... What do you guys suggest I try next??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booger Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 mostly because I want to see how they turn out - pintail and blue wing teal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerS Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Pinnies and wigeons, simply for the fact they have so much white on them, and they're darn common ducks. Love having a few of those in a slough spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muthagoose Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Well it hit 100,000 hits..Should I keep this going or have ya seen enough? Ive yet to post my kayak with a dog blind,a roosting black ducks and floats on it.Gonna have to wait till I get it in use for those pics the end of the month.. Thinking as fast as the woodies went and all the mallards are gone that those will be my inventory birds for next fall Looking at adding wigeon and of all things loons..
