Ernie Mills is a third-generation decoy carver from the Delmarva (DE, MD & VA) Peninsula,
an area rich in decoy history. At an early age, he was taught to carve
by his grandfather in North Carolina. Today, in Perry, Georgia, he continues to
carry on the tradition of making working decoys, using the tools and methods of "a time past."
Ernie teaches campers how to make many types of decoys. His examples are included in collections and hunting rigs throughout the U.S., and also in other countries of the world.
