Nice job on the carving Dave.
I have really appreciated your talent put into your past decorative calls but as you well know Dakota decoys manufacturers their products in China.  It will be interesting to see if the chinese factory can keep the same detail and paint job.  Something I don't think was accomplished on the Jake decoy you did for them.
I cannot and will not support anyone who sells this country out when there is an American company already producing this same very detailed decoy with unsurpassed materials.  This is why I will continue to use  USA Dave Smith Turkey Decoys  USA.  They are made right here in the U S A with ACE technology and are a true American stand up company.

Those who choose to comment please make sure you read my very 1st sentence as I appreciate the carving. 
I merely do not support a "Custom" call maker who supports, profits and promotes a chinese manufactured product when we already have a super high quality product here in the United States.  Even if it's less than a dozen workers making them here in the U S A it is still that many jobs saved.  I earn my money in this country and believe in spending it on products made here when possible.
Thanks John

John, while it is clear that you support american products ...when possible, you have already admitted to selling foreign made products to your customers at an inflated price. But what i don't think is appropriate is using this forum to bash the most successful decorative callmaker in history. I also find it insulting that you have used Dave's posts to advertise for someone else. Lets try to keep this forum free from personal attacks against another member. So you dont agree with an American artist making money from an American company just because they use a chinese manufacture.  You shouldn't post that kind of stuff in public view because that shows that it is being done to cause harm to the callmaker. My Mom taught me that if I didnt have something nice to say , then dont say anything at all. This great forum has survived because we dont allow that kind of behavior. Dave is my friend and he has done absolutely nothing that deserves your comments. Play nice!
