DECOY ARTISAN MONTY MONTPLAISIR Monty developed an interest in decoy carving from his passion for duck hunting. As an avid waterfowler, since 1966, he has strived to always have a 'better decoy spread.' It was this obsession that prompted his interest in learning how to carve his own decoys. Today, Monty is a self-taught carver who is spending his 'final' retirement carving a few birds and teaching his grandsons how to enjoy the simple pleasures that the shooting sports, fly fishing and waterfowling can provide. Monty produces both basswood and cork decoys. Each decoy is signed, dated, numbered, and has a felted bottom to protect your furniture. Because he rarely carves more than a dozen decoys per year, most birds are numbered between 1 and 4, in a particular year, for a species. Duplicates (#2 thru #4) also have slightly different paint jobs than each other so as to keep them unique. It is our hope that their craftsmanship, scarcity, low numbering and uniqueness are of interest to all collectors. Monty resides in Averill, Vermont.
