Autumn Wings...
Blending business acumen and wood-crafting skills to produce quality and affordable gunning duck decoys
Like many other relationships, the men first met at the public landing on the edge of a large duck hunting lake. In the wee hours of an October 1996 morning, fast before sunrise, Stan Balgaard was situating three of his children in their hunting boat amid munchies, hot chocolate, shotgun, shells and the other accouterments necessary for youthful comfort and to stool a few divers. Also at the landing, awaiting his turn to float a boat, was Jim Burkett, who admitted he drooled upon seeing the wood duck decoys stacked in Balgaard’s boat. The men chewed before Balgaard set sail, but not before informing Burkett that he made his own duck decoys from wood and was a taxidermist.

Burkett, of course, figured he’d never again bump into Balgaard and his brood...unless he could collect a prime drake canvasback. By choice later that morning, Burkett harvested his can and which Balgaard “stuffed” for wall. Fate? Perhaps. For sure, it was an opportunistic meeting for both, who since their morning at the public access have nurtured a relationship that’s developed into Autumn Wings: duck decoys for Waterfowl Conservation.
