Blacks make an effective confidence decoy, as it seems other species of
ducks appreciate their wariness as much as hunters do. Each of these
decoy heads is hand carved from a very light kiln-dried basswood.
Linseed oil is applied as a preservative followed by oil paints hand
brushed with color blending and feather effects. The linseed oil draws
the paint deep into the wood fibers enhancing durability and resulting
in a realistic "feather sheen". The result is both beautiful and
functional.
Size: Scaled to work best with Herters 72 magnum
size body (15"- 16")
Five pose shapes are available. The standard pose is a classic shape
that conveys a highly recognizable fashion. The resting pose is how a
content and secure duck will hold its head. The dabbler and drinker
poses also conveys security along with a feeding action. The ultimate
attitude to convey security is sleeper, and we offer a realistic sleeper
that will enhance any rig.
Attaching the heads are easy, we include instructions with each purchase. We like to attach our heads with a 1/4" X 20 T-nut.
The machine thread matches factory eye bolts as supplied by decoy
companies such as Herters and Restle. (T-nut not included)
Our threaded inserts make it easy to attached these replacement decoy
heads to various decoy bodies. Outside is course thread, inside is a
1/4-20" thread to
accept a standard 1/4" eye bolt. Please click here to purchase threaded inserts.
