This is a Big Sky Carvers Pintail Drake Decorative Decoy. It was finished by one of their very talented and highly respected artists, Craig Fellows, and it has his signature on the bottom. It also has the Big Sky Carvers Brand from Boseman, Montana, and writing that says Sport Art Decoys. Big Sky Carvers moved from Boseman in 1985 so we are guessing this gentleman is close to 40 years old. There photos give a clear description. You’ll notice that it is finished with a combination of paints and transparent stains, so typical of Big Sky Carvers’ Decoys. We loved how the artist gave it sort of an antique look. It has a few tiny nicks but is perfect for the most part It is close to actual life size being 18.5 inches from beak to tail. It is 7.25 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide, and it weighs one pound, 12 ounces. Big Sky Carvers was established in the early 1980’s and their decoys were very popular at gift shops and especially at Ducks Unlimited events and auctions. They are getting harder to find and this particular one is quite uncommon. It would be a special find/gift for a collector of their decoys or anyone who loves Pintails. We think they are one of the most beautiful of all waterfowl. We know how to pack these guys so their fragile necks and tails are safe.
