MASTERPIECES
Master Carvers’ award-winning works of art come to life in
DOA Decoys.
With more and more waterfowl hunters showing birds similar
strategies, realistic decoys are more important than ever.
That’s why DOA molds our lifelike decoys from one-of-a-kind
creations carved and painted by award-winning wildlife artists.
After an exhaustive review of award-winning wildlife art, we
enlisted world class, world champion Master Carver Glenn
Ladenberger to bring to life a full line of waterfowl decoys with
fine-feather detail and unrivaled realism.
The works of art that Glenn fashions from solid blocks of
Tupelo wood can take hundreds of hours to carve and
paint. After that, we make molds of the artists’ creations
from a blend of rubberized plastic and EVA copolymer. This
proprietary combination allows specially mixed paints to
penetrate and adhere in an exclusive eight-step process that
layers colors and highlights fine-feather details, bringing our
decoys to life.
Such unrivaled mastery of carving, molding and manufacturing
results in our market-leading line of gunning decoys.
