Abstract:

The author, a Harkers Island native and teacher notes the work of her father, Wayne Davis, a 1987 founding member and first president of the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild. What originally started out as a necessity for luring real ducks into a shooting range, aided in promoting the local economy as visitors began to be impressed with decoys as an art form.
