Anyone collect any vintage duck decoys by Louisiana carvers?

Not Louisiana, but I got this one as a gift. It was made by a guy in Pascagoula, MS, but I’m not sure of the year.

A friend’s dad who recently passed was an excellent carver! His work is amazing so much so that the carving looks real.

My wife’s grandfather carved decoys and hunted over them. We have a few. Some used some he had just made

Was hoping to see more replies to this thread but seems like not many new collectors getting into Louisiana decoys. Most of what is out there is tied up in collectors hands that rarely move. Not often that a good bird comes up for sale. The major auction houses will have a few occasionally at their sales. I am always looking to sell or trade, especially for SW decoys.

I have an old wedge decoy from Catahoula lake. My buddy's dad gave it to me. It's pretty primitive, but I really like it.

My Grandfather once had the largest collection of wooden decoys in Louisiana, He was a doctor down in South East Louisiana and would often be compensated in Hand Carved Decoys by some of the greats

I actually carved quite a few with my grandfather a few years back. They look like shite, but had an excellent time with making them with the pops

I and a friend of mine carve and collect decoys from Louisiana. We mostly collect from southeast Louisiana but have a few from southwest Louisiana. Please do not hesitate to contact if you need help identifying anything or have anything for sale/trade.

I find this thread very interesting. It has sparked some interest in an area that I have never paid much attention to. Thanks for posting!

I’ve got a few. I went to a few classes when I was younger. Met some carving legends in the SE Louisiana area.
