Beautiful Ruffed Grouse
an Original Creation
by Wildlife-Artist
Item Description: In parts
of this country, there are still places untouched since the dawn of time. One
such place is where this magnificent, ruffed grouse lived. The adventure began
with a snowmobile ride to the edge of the dark woods—where the trail ends and
the wild begins. Stepping off, GPS in hand, you are met with those humbling
words: “No signal available.” No matter—you know your way back, or so
you think.
As you trek
deeper into the woods, chickadees begin to follow, flitting like shadows among
the birch. You come across a weathered sign beside a small switch labeled “Daylight
Pump.” With one click, a soft glow settles over the forest—just enough to
make the thickets visible. It is only noon, but you know by three o’clock it
will be too dark to see.
The brush
thickens to where even your loyal dog follows your tracks. Visibility drops to
less than ten feet. Out here, you are not sure what you will flush - a grouse
or Sasquatch.
Then it happens:
the explosive thunder of beating wings. A blur rises vertically—the only way
out. You turn; instinct takes over. You swing; you shoot. The result? This extraordinary, gray-phase ruffed grouse mount, captured in a timeless flying pose, visible from all
angles.
Mounted depicting
a birch woodland scene and anchored to a solid walnut base, this piece features
a brass Ruffed Grouse Society medallion. Whether you are a hunter,
wildlife artist, collector, or simply love the wild places of the world, this
mount makes a powerful statement—or the perfect gift.
