My second husband's grandfather used to carve decoys. He was from a time long past but insisted the only good decoy was a well carved one. I have had several plastic one but they just don't hold a candle to the handmade ones.

So my eyes are not completely gone? These are very good! I've always thought decoys were a bit unfair. Some young drake thiks he's found a new girlfriend and gets blasted out of the sky as he approaches. His final thought probably being, "Hey, you could have just said no."

Marvelous! It's been a long time since I've seen decoy ducks up close...well...I've never seen decoy ducks up close, so I guess that would count as a long time, now wouldn't it? I'm really taken by the details. The feathers look all feathery and wonderfully etched, a bit like real feathers would look on a duck at rest. WOW! This is a great pair!. Yep...M R Ducks!

I'm trying to imagine what decoy's are actually used for. Is it to attract other ducks to the pond for hunting? Hmmm I've never thought about it before!!!

Say, these ducks were floating in a pond where no hunting is ever allowed...I get it...these guys are just there to bring other ducks in to enhance the already peaceful scenery. Nice capture with some great reflections:)

Good workmanship on these. :) I'm glad they are not being use for hunting, the store bought duck is better for eating anyway. Excellent captures!
