John Fulcher is best known for making the famous rig of yellowlegs which are arguably the most recognized shorebird decoys from North Carolina. He carved some attractive duck decoys but they are so rare that they are relatively unknown. His widgeon and pintails have exceptional head carvings.

Original paint with light gunning wear.
