This plump rounded Calvin Gaskill rig yellowlegs is one of the seven decoys that Roy Willis and Jim Lewis purchased from the Gaskill family in the late 1960s. Henry Harris owned and used a stand of shorebird decoys. He lived on Stacy Loop Road and was an avid hunter. He passed his decoy stand to Calvin Gaskill. There were roughly twenty shorebird decoys. Some attribute this decoy as being made by Mitchell Fulcher.

Photography stand does not convey.
