These "jets from the north" are
favorites of diver hunters in every flyway. Large speedy flocks of bills over
the duck decoys make lasting memories. Big water and large duck decoy spreads
are the norm when hunting these late migrants.
Our hand carved wood decoys capture the
essence of Blue Bill with a highly visible standard shape for recognition even
in rough water, a contented resting pose, and a sleeper pose to convey
confidence. These basswood Blue Bills are about 2X oversize (12" X 7")
and weigh approximately 1.5 pounds each. Big water diver hunters will
especially appreciate the way our decoys ride into the water. The realistic
ride, a seemingly small detail, may prove to be a serious edge when hunting
pressured birds that shy away from conventional decoy spreads. The linseed oil
wood treatment followed by hand applied oil paints has served us well with our
own personal rig of divers providing us over 20 years of rugged service. The
yellow eyes of both the drake & hen Blue Bill are a signature recognition
element and Autumn Wings emulates nature by using glass.
