This is a Decorative Mallard Master’s Limited Edition Drake Decoy carved by John Gewerth for Big Sky Carvers of Manhattan, MT. The photos give a great description. Notice that its head is turned almost in a preening position. It is typical of Big Sky Carver’s Decoys, finished with a combination of paints and transparent stains so the wood grain is visible in places. Underneath it has a Medallion which is numbered 419 of 1250 so there were a number of these made. Still, we were not able to find another currently listed. Virtually perfect, it is a bit larger than life size, measuring 13 inches from breast to tail. It is 6.25 inches wide, 7.5 inches tall, and weighs just over 3 pounds. We have a weakness for Big Sky Carver Decoys and this one is extra nice. It is not dated but they moved in the early 1990’s to Manhattan, MT, so we are guessing, late 1980’s was when it was made. John Gewerth is one of their well known carvers and the Master’s Edition Series Decoys were selected in a kind of competition from their carvers. Anyway, it is a wonderful decoy, one that anyone familiar with Big Sky Carvers will appreciate. We invite your inspection and offer.

This is a Cabelas signed Wood Duck Drake Decorative Decoy. It is not dated or signed by an artist but is stamped on the bottom with a Cabelas logo. It was common in the late 1980’s-1990’s for Big Sky Carvers to produce a variety of decorative decoys for sale by Cabelas and this is very likely one of those. About life size, it measures about 13.5 inches from black to hail. It is 7.25 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and weighs 1 pound, 14 ounces. This is a wonderful decoy, in like new condition. It would make a great gift for some young waterfowler who may have collected one of these in the field. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Animals\Birds\Ducks”.

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.
