Kool deal

I'm ready gonna have it the 2nd weekend of season

I accepted a new position with my company, and will be moving. Due to the transfer, I can't commit to the traveler at this time.

Please remove me from the list.

That's a bummer and awesome at the same time. I hope it comes with more $$$.

Thanks. After several months of negotiations, they were able to make the move worth it.

I'll take Nov. 1 if it's open now. Jake you join if you have time.

Ok gents. All thats left is throwing some paint on the bottom, a pad weight and line attach point. Im going to leave it up to y'all to put what ever length you need for your hunt on the deke. I've gotten Steeles address and hope to have it shipped out by the end of the week. There will also be a journal in the box like last year.
Now Im busting it to try and get the ones in the second pic carved into some Blue Wings. No pressure

Amazing Rick!

Rick you're amazing thank you so much! I predict a lot of money will go to charity this year.

Ty! Hope it does you good

Ok it's started. The decoy is on its way to Tennessee. I had to use UPS and in case anyone is interested it is going ground to be delivered by Thursday and with and additional 2.00 its insured for 200.00 for a total shipping cost of 19.11. Thats shipped from southeast Oklahoma.
One more tidbit. I threw in a couple extra strips of leather in case the one thats on it now breaks somehow. I havent used leather for an attach point before and not sure how it will hold up. Probably should have treated it but doh! If there's a problem and it needs to be changed give me a call, my numbers in the journal.

How much would I say it weighs and what size box I have to ship from La to Ny trying to get a quote and time because I may be able to keep it a little longer no one has the weekend after me so I have 2 weeks to get it shipped

Keep it. Our duck season doesn't open until the first week of October.

@Olly
Did you get my pm or did it go straight to the trash can? :lol::lol:

I got a notification that you sent me one then when I went to go read it, it was gone. Usually means the sender deleted it before you can read it. Go look at your sent items, it's not in my inbox.

Weird, I even went and looked at the actual database and it's not there. Send it again.

Sent it again.

Just a suggestion...

Eric Haynes, made a good suggestion and wanted to see the traveler get a more organized sub forum so the members that hunt over it can post their hunt logs. I have made another sub-forum located within the "events" forum that will allow members who hunt over the decoy to start a thread detailing their hunt. I will also move past traveler's in there as well.

I didnt measure IR weigh the box, but best guess would be 14" square, under 6 lbs

The traveler made it today, just as Rick said. Man this is some great work. I hate to put this dude on the water and get it dirty.

Its going to be ragged by the time the last person gets it. I wouldn't worry about the muddy water

Just don't put it in the shit.

Yea I heard that. It's pretty right now, I just can't wait to send it along and hear what gets added to the book and box it's in. I've come up with a few ideas for AJ

Ima have to clean that bad boy off when I get done with the mud and blood

I can't get over the detail on this thing. Pulled up pics of a Smew online cause I had no clue what they were. His work is excellent

It's basically the 4th merganser.
