Dave at kelton Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 That is simply amazing. As a Wildfowler of over forty years I appreciate that more than any stick I think I have ever seen. Well done sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did do a tufted duck decoy thread on here a while back you might be able to find that one was from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
