As hunters, we love the diversity and variations that occurs in nature. The DSD Limited Line is a celebration of this. We will release limited, one of a kind decoys to showcase different species and variations across the world.
All of our Limited Decoys will come with their own certificate of authenticity. Whether you want a shelf piece or an addition to your hunting spread, our Limited Series has the same ultra-high attention to detail that you’ve come to expect from us.
Our newest addition to our DSD Limited series is our Tarbelly Pair.
Just like a fingerprint, no two adult White-Fronted Geese carry the same plumage on their bellies. Most individuals have a good mix of spots, patches and barring. In rare instances, an adult specklebelly will have an melanin overload on its abdomen resulting in what us waterfowlers lovingly know as a “Tarbelly”. This can take the appearance of heavy striping or even a blacked out feather vest and anything in between. Just like the variances in live birds, our combination of airbrush and hand painting leaves no Tarbelly pair identical.
These eye-catching specimens are immediately identifiable and stand out from the crowd. Just try it next time you glass up a big flock of specks, we guarantee your binocular scan will pause when you come across a tarbelly. They’re just flat out cool!
There is some misconception that the darker the belly, the older the bird. This is not the case. A White-Front’s barring pattern is permanent. From the time it molts its juvenile plumage, it will carry those exact same bars for the rest of it’s life.
Each pair includes hard cast legs, a Sentry Speck with a shield like black belly and a Rester Speck with big wide tiger stripes and a DSD Limited leg band. Whether you are a hard core speck hunter and already have a big spread of our decoys, or are looking to add a little variety to your canada or snow goose spread, the Tarbelly Pair will fit right in.
