Send your first one to ME. I'll be the guinea pig, I guess. I'll even do it for FREE!

I know, I know, I am quite a giving guy.

Great job, truly an awesome effort Dave.

The detail is awesome...that last show shows just how intricate/anal you are but thats what makes that decoy ******** awesome....Nice work dave. Cannot wait to see the painted version...

And not to throw more work on you....but are you gonna do a sleeper lesser? A couple of those in the spread would make one relaxed looking spread.

I am a grad school student you dont think i am pinched......i literally have a big ol jar for my next DSD expenses so at least our bank accounts will suffer together.

On this topic: I wonder how many marital disputes DSD is responsible for when the husbands order dsd's without letting the misses know???


Seriously though Dave amazing work!!

Crap,looks like another week in the doghouse. After i buy a half dozen of these, I'll be lucky if the wife leaves me anything to sit on. Great looking decoy Dave!
