Great pair of Illinois River Bluebill duck decoys by famous contemporary carver Jim Slack. These hunting grade decoys are hollow two-piece construction in excellent original paint. The exceptional paint has detailed feathering and thick combing. This is some of the thickest paint I have ever seen Jim use and the detail is fantastic. The heads are alert and the bills have detailed nail carving. They are 12” in length and 7 1/2” tall. Both decoys have their original keel weights and are marked “JHS Maker”. Slack doesn’t make many Bluebills. These are a matched pair of rig mates. Beautiful hunting grade decoys.
