Tom Winter, carver of fish and duck decoys, moved to Menominee, MI three (2006) years ago.  He signs his name or marks his decoys with mark  -  44.  He weighs his fish decoys with lead so they are useable decoys, not just for decorations.  He also makes copper decoys, which are outstanding.  He makes \"diaramas\" - putting a rod or reel or sand shoe or snowshoe or a creel as a background for beautifully carved fish (not decoys).  His fish on birchbark or walnut, etc., plaques are greatly sought after.
