Gordon, Thank you, sir, coming from you, the Master of Yew is a fine compliment.

Pete, the encounter with the Sandhill was really bizarre. The guy I asked to take the full draw had been there for 20 minutes with a huge camera on a tripod taking pictures of them. When he had my cameras and started shooting they walked right to us. I had to touch the big one on the tip of the beak and say back off, I was afraid she was going to poke me when I wasn't looking. Maybe I am a Chick Magnet  ;D
The wife says, no.

Thanks again, Bevan, you and JW had a good idea.

Tracy, I multitask ;)

Great looking bow, love the skin into the tips.  That is a bow I would love to have built myself.

Sandhill Cranes are indeed protected down here.  Not that you see many of the Whooping Cranes here, but if it was one of those in the pics, there'd be one last pic of a man running away from a bird, lol.

I have gotten to work with both types of cranes, and the male whooping crane was quite the handful, had to use 2 people when going into the pen just to keep him distracted.  Those suckers can hit hard with those beaks!

Eddie, great looking bow!!  Glad I got to see it in person. Bevan, he's a tick magnet for sure. ;D  You did good Mullet. Great photo's of the birds and the drawing sets it off. See ya in 3 weeks.
