Since 1993 the annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition has held the World level category Three-bird Shootin’ Rig.\u00a0 When my father-in-law, Jimmie Vizier, passed away in 2011 it was named the Jimmie Vizier Memorial Award<\/strong>.\u00a0 The entries in this class are judged under natural conditions in the bay behind the convention center in Ocean City, Maryland.\u00a0 So the quality of the floatation of these decoys is critical in the judging.\u00a0 Most of these decoys are hollowed with deep, heavy keels.\u00a0 Robustness in the carving is important and detail in the carving and paint is also allowed provided the character of the swimming bird is captured well and accurately.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the year 2024 I designed and created a rig of Common Mergansers, one drake and two hens.\u00a0 The composition of the birds as a group was carefully planned in their designs.\u00a0 Like most species this one is very distinct and recognizable.\u00a0 Many features on these carved mergansers are finished at a decorative level including the bill details, sculpting of feathers, and refinement of the painted surface.\u00a0 In April of 2024 this rig was judged Second in World in a very competitive field of entries, a number of them created by past World Champions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are available to an interested buyer either as a group, singly, or possibly a pair.\u00a0 \u00a0For additional information contact Pat Godin<\/strong> at pat@godinart.com<\/strong>.\u00a0 Additional images are also available upon request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
