[larson1951]

i can't believe this
this was monday 7-4-2010 hunt
i am overwhelmed at this even if the handle is broke
the weeds are gonna get too high before i have a chance to walk this entire 40 acre field then it might be a long time before enough rain will come again
i really think this thing is fierce
lars

i am adding a few more images,
one of them was found by either al or russy
they are each a little different but the same idea conveys a similar thought to me

Re: Bird!!!!!!!

Dayummm! Banner in my book!

 

[naturegirl]

Re: Bird!!!!!!!

Me too, banner! I thought goose because of the out stretched neck. but what about the thingy underneath? Anyway, it's a beaut! It's more artsy-fartsy Yet another outstanding find.

Re: Bird!!!!!!!

thank you again for the vote
i am most appreciative of this
i don't know what the beard is but i will try to find (figure) that out
if you want i can try to put a list of all the effigies we know of
i believe Coteau knows of a picture of one that he took up north in the mandan library

Re: Bird!!!!!!!

Cool find larson. Could that beard on the piece be a turkey?

 

[Jonzer]

Re: Bird!!!!!!!

Hell Yeah. Banner!

 

[larson1951]

Re: Bird!!!!!!!

hey lurediver
i think a turkey beard could be right
it makes sense
the thing that confuses me is coteau's book that talk's about a crane effigy
i would like to know what these were for.......?
sure look's like some one spent lotta time makin' it

 

[Chug And Red]
