The catalog record

Randy Tull (b. 1947) Hayward, WI, 1984 Charles “Buddy” Harris was an avid outdoorsman and collector who enjoyed bringing his family and friends along on his adventures. Harris befriended World Champion carver Randy Tull and the two traveled and hunted across the United States and in Mexico together. Harris was a dedicated collector of Tull's work and purchased some of his finest carvings, including World and National Championship winning pieces. Copley is pleased to offer a number of those carvings along with other fine decoratives from the Harris collection in this catalog.

A preening decoy displaying incredible form that won a first place ribbon at the North American Decoy Championships. Signed and dated on the bottom by the maker. Original paint with minor wear.
