Bob Fentress grew up farming but mainly made a living by working as a market hunter, guide, and waterman. He made all of his decoys from cypress knees. Over the years, as the wood continued to dry, they became very light, extremely rare.

Original paint worn to bare wood in places, small chip to right side of the bill.
