This is a Big Sky Carvers Wood Duck Drake Decorative Decoy. It had the Big Sky Logo Stamp on the bottom along with the signature of its artist, Scott Huntsman. It is dated 2007 and numbered 1108. Our photos are clear and give a very good description of the decoy. It is in very good condition but does have some scratches on its left cheek. It is close to life size, 12 inches long from its breast to its tail. It is 7 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and weighs 1 pound, 11 ounces. Big Sky Carvers began in Boseman, Montana, in the 1980’s. They employed extremely talented artist from the surrounding area and they created some wonderful decoys. By 2007 a lot of Big Sky Carver Decoys were being made in Asia and the quality, I felt, was not as high as it was with the earlier decoys. This guy is proof, though that they were still doing really nice decoys. Be sure to notice the detailed painting combined with transparent stains, artistically applied to make a gorgeous bird look almost better than real life. If you have seen wood ducks in the field or have someone close who has hunted them successfully, this would make a very meaningful gift.

The Canvas Back Duck is one of the most colorful North American ducks and this one is a perfect example. Life like in appearance with vivid colors detailing and covering the entire body. Distinct lifelike glass eyes, showing the pupils. Carved and painted by hand, this life size duck is solid wood. In September of this year (2022) we spent a few days treasure hunting in the city of Orange, California, a quaint little town a stone throw away from Disneyland. There are many unique antique shops along the main drag. Weight: 1.5 lbs. Measures: 12″ L x 4.5″ W x 5 H. Still in very good condition, with no chips or cracks and without. This preowned piece was well taken care of with very minor wear to the finish. Signed on the bottom, see pictures for signatures. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Animals\Birds\Ducks”.

This is a Big Sky Carvers Pintail Drake Decorative Decoy. It was finished by Sally McMurry and has her signature on the bottom but no date. It also has the Big Sky Carvers Branded logo on the underneath. The logo is from after they moved from Boseman, MT, to Manhattan, MT, so that gives a better guess as to its age. Typical of Big Sky Carver Decoys, it is finished with hand painting and the use of transparent stains that allow the wood grain to show through. It is near life size, measuring 20 inches from beak to tail, 7 inches tall, and 5\. It weighs 2 pounds 8 ounces. We have been fond of Big Sky Carvers Decoys since they began in the early 1980’s. The Company employed some very talented local artists and their decoys are so well done. We prefer these older versions. This guy is near perfect with a tiny nick on its head, and another on the end of its tail. Pintails are a favorite of most waterfowls for their stunning beauty, which this decoy captures. Anyway, we invite your inspection and offer. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Animals\Birds\Ducks”. The seller is “435jamesp” and is located in this country: US.

This is a Loon Decoy carved/painted by Parke Goodman of Big Sky Carvers of Boseman, MT. It is signed by the artist on the underneath and also has the Big Sky Carvers Branded Logo but it is not dated. The photos give a good description. It is in perfect condition with the common discoloration of a couple of spots on its back where sap or resin from the pine it was carved from has bled through the paint. It is slightly smaller that actual size, measuring 16.5 inches long, 6.25 inches tall, and 45.5 inches wide. Big Sky Carvers were well known in the late 70’s on for their decorative decoys. They employed a number of talented local artists to hand paint their decoys and many of them, such as Parke Goodman, are highly regarded for their work. We always watch for Big Sky Carver Decoys and are very fond of them. They are no longer made in the USA, often made of resin or from Asia, if even available. This one is a wonderful example of a Common Loon and Big Sky Carver’s early, high quality, American product. If you have a cabin by a lake which Loons frequent, you need this decoy badly. We invite your inspection of the photographs and your offer. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Animals\Birds\Ducks”. The seller is “435jamesp” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
