Well it's official

[RUGER]

I am DONE with decoys.
Been a LOT of string cutting, end burning, knot tying and weight taping going on.
This beautiful fully flocked, foam filled, battleship higdon of @woodyard was the very last one.
Looking forward to this year.

With what we have in my shop plus what another guy is bringing we will have right at 600 decoys. =/- 6 due to crown and counting issues.
All are brand new or very slightly used for one season.

Are your fingers bleeding from tying and pulling tight knots?

You know if you take a cheap soldiering iron and hold it point up in a vise, you can cut and burn ends all in one step.

Higdons are some great looking decoys. Heavy but look great.

He never mentioned how he was doing it. That's a trick I learned several years ago from one of the guy I hunt with.
