Hattaway's Deadly Hen. Second one I've made and quite full of myself over the way this one turned out. Please pardon my vanity.

Nice, one more reason for you to put the smack down on that big tom turkey, that will want to get fresh with your little girl decoy.

Thank you. I started this on 1/17/19. Worked 30 minutes here and there after dark in the evenings several times a week and a few hours on a bunch of rainy days which we've had lots of. I'd guess probably 20 hours total, maybe more. I really don't know. Fairly enjoyed it all though.

That's some real talent. I haven't used a decoy in a few years but if I still used one I'd want it to look like that masterpiece you created.

Called one in for a good friend yesterday morn. An old warrior with some unique features, missing toe and breast feather striping I've never encountered before. Picture does not do it justice but it was very visible in every feather with light angles.
