Big Sky Carvers began in the 1970’s in Boseman Montana. They were highly regarded for their decorative decoys and their business was quite successful.

This is a Canvasback Drake Decorative Decoy carved by Big Sky Carvers of Boseman, Montana. It was hand painted by artist, Craig Fellows and is signed by him on the bottom but not dated. It has the Big Sky Carvers logo branded on the underneath also. The decoy is in very good condition but has a couple small dents on the beak and some slight marring, scratching on the sides so it is not perfect. It is typical of the early Big Sky Carvers Decoys in that it is finished with a combination of paints and stains that make an already stunning bird look even better. It is a bit larger that life size, measuring 17 inches long, 6.75 inches wide, and 9 inches tall. It weighs 4 pounds. Big Sky Carvers began making decorative decoys in the early 1980’s in Boseman, Montana, Later they moved to Manhattan, Montana a short distance away. The Company was very successful and their decoys were very well done and quite popular. They hired a number of local artists who were very skilled. Fellows is one of their highly regarded artists and rightly so. They may still continue to offer some decorative decoys, many of them made in Asia. We much prefer their earlier ones such as this guy. We invite you to look over the photos and make an offer. Even with a few minor issues it is a stunning work of art and they do not make them like this any longer.
