A Real Hunter!
« on: July 18, 2011, 08:38:00 PM »
Hope this is the place to post this....this past wekend my wife and I went north to visit family....made a day trip to Cooperstown, NY, and toured the small village....we went down by Otsego Lake, to see where the Susquehanna River begins...and I found this fellow and his hunting partner looking out over the lake....

 

It is titled:  Indian Hunter, and was sculpted by John Quincy Adams Ward in 1897.

I wonder if he worried about tiller, weight forward, gap or instinctive......
