Duck Hunter's Clock

[JT]

yes i did. Thats a real interesting book; and its cool to think of those guys back in the day camping out all up and down the west end to slp. And what they did for conservation.

Ok, here is "The Glory Hole" is this the one y'all want?????

[GHSmacker]

ive got a number of his prints, both regular and gicl'ee that look just like an original in my house. i also have the book "John P. Cowan----A Texas Treasure" that has a copy of most every picture he made if that would help you. It would be real easy to copy and scan.

I even have a few old Humble Oil monthly magazines that his art work is in. Without a doubt one of the best, if not the best, wildlife artist.

I've got that book too...had it for a long time...guess i should of thought about scanning a pic out of it. That's the Aggie in me....

Hold on to those Humble Oil works...those things are really gonna be worth something one day i'm sure.

JT...you see in the book where it talks of a former president hunting that same place?

[WestEndAngler]

Its the one Cowan prints I've been waiting to buy. I have many of his prints around my place and have been collecting his art work for gosh, 15 years now.

That book says "The Glory Hole" was 650 acres of Arkansas pin oaks surrounded by a water control system. He says that the he lowered the water in the picture and that it was chest deep and they froze in it. The seat does warn hunters in direct terms that it is reserved for canines only.

You should throw in a water turkey for good measure.

[Milkjug]

I would have put some scaup in, but as you can see, that was an impressive photochop and they take some time.

[WestEndAngler]

I wasn't going to use the exact quote but there you have it

[GHSmacker]

Damn MJ...i'm disappointed in you. I would of thought you would of had at least a few hollywoods and mergansers in your picture.

Coe...the sign says, "If you can't lick your balls, don't sit here".

[Milkjug]

Nice clock Derek, I might want to buy something like that... with divers of course

GHS, I fixed the print for you. Now it is the best one

[WestEndAngler]

Its a Cowan print and it says something like seat is for Canines only!

I was outbid during a DU Auction I think it went for $2500

[GHSmacker]

Hmmm...i just may buy that one.

I'm saving up the funds so that one day i can buy his (in my mind) best hunting print...Glory Hole(get your mind out of the gutter). I saw one on eBay that went for $2,000 last summer...cheapest i've ever seen one go for.

Here's the print...Glory Hole...for all those that have never seen it.

P.S. Anybody know what that sign says?

[bountyhunter]

Another idea...i'm a Cowan nut.

Here you go..........get to bidding...

If we can get a print, I can scan it and make a copy for the center of the clock. Bands are also a good idea that I'll check into.
