Goshawk and Crow
I had the fortunate opportunity last summer, along with my son Ben, to photograph three of John Scheeler’s pieces. This one, Goshawk and Crow, may be my all time favorite wildfowl sculpture.

Most of these were solo adventures, just myself and 10 of my best 4 legged friends. Nathan Putnam I mentioned …

Fake Out
This is how I leave my blind all year long. The deer get used to seeing someone in there so when I’m in there no big deal. Try it! The head came from a beauty school. They just throw the used ones away after they cut the hair. Rann Robinson I laughed. 5000+ comments. Need …
