Hell that's better than I could do if I tried to carve one right now. Just the googly eyes that make him look special.

You'd have to see him in action to see his special side to side wobble too. But man we've killed a lot of birds with him in the spread.

Mañana. It's in Jacks room and I'm afraid I'll wake him up if I go in to snag a pic - it's atrocious.

I gotta post some pics of the decoy the oldest painted for me when she was about 6. The first couple years, oil took it out as promised, let it float for a bit, then put it up. But after that, I said screw it, that's mean to her. She meant it from the heart. But uff, it's bad.

At least you know it's yours, you know, because your name is on it. Would hate to confuse it for someone else's decoy
