*  Ever make a foam decoy? The Rappahannock River Waterfowl Show, March 20, is presenting a new competitive division for foam decoy makers and early word says they expect dozens of entries.

For more information on this modern approach to gunning decoys, follow this link to the Working Decoys website dedicated to their manufacture and use.
