Remy Roussell (1903-1972), Raceland, Louisiana. Remy was an accomplished gunsmith and decoy maker. He possessed a sensitivity for form such that each species of his decoys could be determined before it was painted. He had a keen painting ability as well, so each lure became a working piece of art. Remy made this pair of birds for hunting the Bayou LaFourche. Hens by him are very rare; signed and dated 1971.
