100% of the proceeds from the next 5 decoys I sell will go directly to those in the Menasha area who had their lives turned upside down by the tornado yesterday. I can't imagine what they're going thru right now, and because of that, I can't imagine not trying to help in some way.
I'm not sure if there's an official fundraiser setup yet, but if anyone can point me at one I'd appreciate it. Otherwise I'll put the funds towards water bottles and supplies and run them up.
Get yourself a decoy and help out Menasha. God bless.
One down, four to go!

Ever get in your vehicle to go somewhere and find a couple dozen sturgeon spawning in the front seat?
Me neither. These are just some of the decoys and chum mugs that I'm taking to River Haus Bait, Tackle & Gifts. Give them a follow and watch our pages to see what sort of flashy paint jobs Robert comes up with. Or if you'd like one with custom paint, give them a call and reserve one or two for yourself!

Having the BM Decoy Trap Team test out round 2 prototypes of my universal fit side blinders tonight. They should help enhance focus, reduce peripheral sunlight, and add a little team flare.
Noticed that most of the veteran trap shooters had blinders, but after getting my hands on some I realized they only really fit on metal frames with thin arms. I wasn't about to spend more money to replace good, functional glasses that I just bought, and I couldn't find anything that would work on the thicker plastic armed glasses many people use. Even ruined a pair of traditional blinders trying to modify them to fit. Went to the drawing board and after a few design revisions I came up with these. Tried the prototype myself last week and they worked as intended, but the material needed to be more heat resistant with higher resilience. So these should stand up to sitting in a hot truck all day, and keep their flatness better after bending over the hinge repeatedly
Will make them available to purchase/customize if all goes well.

Had an idea for combining the Wonderbread and one of my new penned stripers. Then decided to add multicolored spots to the head. The result is somewhere between surrealism and tie-dye. Not sure if I should even name it, because this will not be a variant I make often. If you'd like to get a 15" abstract Wonderbread, let me know.

Was going to try out my new trap gun this afternoon but didn't feel like sweating all over it, so I decided to play around with the pen
More to come!
