I have been kinda ramping up my duck hunting efforts this year, and in the process started pestering an good friend and former coworker who probably has 60+ years of experience with "causeway ducks." Out of the blue he called me up and told me to come get some decoys.
Add that to my 3 dozen gadwalls and mallards and I have a pretty decent spread to put out this year. Just a mix of what I think is mostly decoys he pulled out of the bushes over the years. No two are the same.
He was tickled to see me I think. Probably hugged me 5 times in a one beer visit and told me how glad he was that somebody was going to kill some birds over the decoys again. I gotta get them cleaned up a little and will probably swap them over to texas rigs like the rest of my stuff, but other than that I'm going to leave them vintage.
