 This is going up for auction at the Central Texas DU banquet tonight. I have a display card that sits with it that says: South Bay BlueThis piece is a combination base and gunning decoy both hand carved by Dave Speer. The decoy can be hunted or displayed on its base. The name comes from the fishing and gunning flats of the Coastal Bend of Texas. Go ahead and pick up the decoy, it's not attached to the base. For more information about the carving, contact Dave via email at xxx@xxx.xxx or by cell phone: xxx-xxx-xxxx. Dave is in attendance at the show tonight.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, b/c they know not victory nor defeat"- #26 TR

My head hurts!
Hey that was a nice decoy...I bid on it a few times. I was in a too deep with my spending last night and my luck of the past really didnt hold last night.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

That was one very sweet gun. The auction sort of got off to a slow start and stalled around the $1700 mark, and then I think I blinked and it was up over 3k in a HURRY!

Ronnie Wells was the artist. He does a lot of DU stuff...he has a studio in Salado so I'm assuming he lives around there.
