TylerS Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 lets see what tyler says he be the ND connection... So far, in my neck of the woods, birds have been scattered. Not much of a "migration" going on yet. If you're up for a locked in date, I'd start zeroing in on the second to last weekend of October through the first weekend in November. Granted, weather will play a large factor, but that's typically when we begin to see fresh, fat green beans. I'll keep you posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muthagoose Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Im up for it and yup weather dictates all..... Im leaving the nov 6th for a little combo hunt so heading to Nd should get me divorced. Ill be there....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorgy Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Mutha- I have a few taxidermy questions to ask you. Can you send me a PM or give me a way to contact you.I have a commercially tanned bear hide from the 2011 season that I picked up in August. I would like to finish the rug myself. I saw in Vandykes catalog the rug forms. Ear Cups and so forth. My skull measured 19 1/4" . I am looking for sizing recommendations for forms and eyes as well as suggested tools for doing the work.Thank youSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerS Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Mutha, tried sending you a PM but your mailbox is full. On that note, if you're planning to come up, I'd do it soon. Birds are on the move and are staging in areas. My schedule is really tight for the next few weeks, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get out with you if you come. That said, I could point you in the right direction. Send me a PM if you want to talk further. You can fill in Gordie later ... if you feel like bringing him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Breuer Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Mutha, please shoot me a PM. Have a few ?'s for you. I just picked up some rare Herter's coot dekes, and may need some heads painted or built. My son and I are going to have a burlap day at the house next summer... painting in detail is NOT our strong suit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishdaddy Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Muthagoose, I recently viewed this topic and I've been inspired! You do some great work. I've thought about making decoys before and after seeing what you have done I'm going for it. I've done some searching on the web and found lots of helpful info. I like making my own stuff and getting gratification out of using it. I've made plastic fishing lures for ice fishing and open water and when I catch fish with them it's a great feeling. Dropping ducks or geese over decoys I made would be awesome. I was going to pm you but as I thought it was full. I'm sure people ask you a lot of ??'s. I would greatly appreciate it if you could explain to me how you make molds for your heads.? Or point me in the right direction. Pm me if you could or post here. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good..great..phenomenal work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbs Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I was going to build a Kara this spring but I decided to build a Hybrid instead. That is if the weather ever warms up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthefly Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Here's a "semi-custom" I made this off season... It was an old Herters body and a head made by a custom decoy maker I know... Turned out alright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muthagoose Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Nice looking decoy... Looks like autumn wings heads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthefly Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Thanks. Not an Autumn Wings... Actually a super dense polyurethane foam head from Bigger Water Decoys out of Pensylvania. Getting some canvasback heads from them too for Herters 72 bodies I painted. Really impressed by the quality of their heads. May mold my own heads next offseason. Got through 30 old Herters this winter/spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muthagoose Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 yup I see it now.. Didn't they buy up Toledo? I'm all for synthetics lightweight, strong and no rot... Mold your own, its not only easy to do but rewarding.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthefly Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 They did buy Toledo, I'm pretty sure. Here's a couple more from the winter... Goldeneyes are Bigger Water Decoys I got as raw bodies/heads and burlapped. Herters were all dinged up, so I burlapped and painted. Definitely getting into the hobby. Need an airbrush next go round.
