I've been buying a few here & there of old Herters 72 divers and a few puddlers and a few coots that were beat up,so I could burlap them and restle coat them,its been alot more than I ever thought it would be,buying all new stainless eyebolts and washers and alot of time sanding heads and priming them,now there off to get painted and flocked

Thanks Longdraw. You just gave me one more reminder why I should NOT get into waterfowling! I would need another building to store all that and an army to help drag them around and maintain them. lmao

Looks good man! You'll love hunting over those next fall. There's not much more rewarding than killing birds over decoys you had a hand in crafting.

WOW! Those look great! Who did the paint work? How hard is it to wrap and restle them? Ive got a bunch of old Herters foam dekes I'd like to restore but don't know much about it.

burlapping isn't hard if you can cut out a good pattern out of a roll of landscaping burlap,restling coating isn't hard either,its getting the right corn cob mix,,,,decoyflocker.com did the painting & flocking on them

Friggin' sweet dude! I'd kill to hunt with you guys up there. You kill mallards and geese here, that's it. Having that kind of variety is awesome!!!
