Official 2013-2014 WFF West Coast Traveler

It's time to sign up for this year's travelers. WFF is going to be doing two this year! East and West coast decoys. Members RickC and Baysider have stepped up and volunteered to carve this years decoys.

Keeping with WFF tradition the decoys will be non native species to North America. RickC who is doing the West Coast block will be making one of his canvas decoys is doing a Red-Crested Pochard and Baysider who is supplying the East Coaster is carving a Labrador duck! I'm excited to see both their takes on these unique ducks.

Last year we limited the traveler to 15 members and we quickly filled the list. This year with two travelers each will have a limit of 15 members whom have a post count higher than 50 and you will be restricted to signing up for the decoy that you fall under.

The first post of both threads will have the most up to date participates and their dates.

--Rules--

1. Sign up is first come first serve.
2. Start the decoy with the northern most person and let it work it's way down south with the seasons.
3. Everyone that gets the decoy should try and get some good photos of it in the field and share here.
4. Try and setup some group WFF hunts over the decoy if you can.
5. Contribute to the supplied log book.
6. Once you pick a date and sign up make sure you honor that date and try not to swap with others last minute.
7. Do not sign up for the decoy unless you can hunt over it and get it to the next member on time. Make sure you get with the person who is next for their address.
8. Have fun!

Be sure to thank RickC and Baysider for taking their time and personal resources to make and donate these decoys for us to use!

Just have Triposd hand it to me at the west coast hunt when we're done. I'll be open to fill in blank weeks, if it comes down to it.

Not sure when we're signing up for dates but I'd love it the week of oct 20-26ish. Off the whole week and can hunt it a lot. Callin dibs

I don't know when it is, but I'm laying claim for the west coast gathering. I'll drive it down and hand it off to mike.

Can't wait to see these decoys. Thanks a lot fellas!

Mine isn't carved, not totally anyway. This was decided a few days ago and im in the middle of another project ( 8 Green Wing Teal ). But the good thing is I already have a body put together, just needs the canvas and a head, that can be used.
Hopefully it'll turn out something like this ...

Should be a great looking block Rick

Awesome and thanks Rick.

Do we even have 15 members west of the Mississippi?

Don't think so.

We don't have to fill all 15 spots, just limit it to 15.

True. Was just curious

Quit jumping my ass JR!

Haha. Aren't you supposed to be on beach patrol today?

I wish. Actually river patrol (on weekends if there were such a thing) would be the shit. Our beaches are too cold for bikinis

I'm in. Thanks Rick

Truth. Although I did make good plenty off the beach, just wasn't a lot of eye candy.

I think both travelers should be allowed at both WFF hunts. Why don't we have Jarbo or TK take both for the week of no coast and JR have both for the West coast hunt. Well, what's everyone think about that?

Nice. Shouldn't complain about that one. Even if it's a lie!

I think this is where something clever about tapatalk should go.

I have no problems with it. PM the bossman

I agree, still want mid November to be my week with the decoy if possible.
