Manie Haywood's canvas decoys were some of the most sought after on the Outer Banks. He consistently made reliable canvas decoys that rode well in the water and were in great demand by guides and clubs. The artistic appeal of his birds quickly grew and the art community put his birds high on the list, rig mate published on page 311 of Gunnin' Birds by Kroghie Andresen.
