Any interest in a decoy swap this Spring?

[Tom Modin]

need to let cure, finish bottom and keel them up. simple gunner will keep both of them home until trade just in case a second bird needs to go out.

 

[sean kane]

I'd like to get in as well. I will be in for a cork bird most likely a canvasback. when do you need the pic? Looking forward to shooting someone elses bird for once!
cheers,
sean

Birds need to be completed ready to ship to get into the final draw. No pic posted or private messaged you do not get placed into the hat

 

[Mike Rowinsky]

Okay, now I am really confused. Do I need to have the decoy finished now, or by a certain date? I am seriously considering getting in on this. However, if I must have the decoy finished now, I am out.

By the may date posted sorry if it was confusing. You can sign up to be in but without a decoy done a picture by the draw date I don't put your name in the hat. This cuts down on folks not getting a bird or waiting months to get a bird. It worked very well the last swap I was in

 

[Mike Rowinsky]

I'd like to enter with a black duck in cork. Never shared a decoy before. Only hunt my own.

Tom and the Swappers~

Here is my "default" bird for this year's swap (but you never know when the Muse will strike between now and May...)

View attachment Sanford Highhead Brant - Swap 2013 - vs.jpg

It's hollow white pine. Still needs "sea trials" to test ballast.

All the best,

SJS

Put me on the list. I sat out last year after getting burnt the year before, but with the new conditions, I'll give it a go again. It will be a cork bird. I have a drake buffie ready for sanding and paint, so that will probably be the bird.

Thanks Darrin with the picture deal it goes smoothly and decreases the issue of getting burnt. Plus I will cover and ship you a bird if there is an issue. There are several on the list I have personally been in trades with, bought birds from, drank beer with and am in contact with so I can vouch for them. As for the rest of the bunch I am positive they are good folks, well as good as decoy carvers can be

Here is my entry. Cork body Basswood head Redhead gunner. Recipient gets the choice, high head or content. Note to self: I need a better picture taking set up. Sorry for the crappy pics. Maybe if it is sunny out tomorrow I'll snap some better ones.

If a carved foam bird is alright.
I should be able to finish one up by the dead line, maybe, hopefully.

 

[Tom Modin]

If you find some other people that carve foam I will set up a swap for foam birds. This swap is limited to wood, cork or stretched canvas. Thanks

 

[A Michael Chase]

Tom and all: Due to a frenzied work and personal schedule, I need to withdraw my name from the swap. I hope my early exuberance and inability to follow through do not cause a problem.

Maybe next time.

Mike

 

[Tom Modin]

Cool birds Mike.

 

[sean kane]

I'm in with a canvasback.. I hope whoever gets it kills a couple over him! I'd be proud to float any of the birds i'v seen so far!

 

[Tom Modin]

sean when it is done post a pic or message me a pic.
