Last spring I made a turkey blind like the one in the Aiden Lassell Ripley painting, neatly stacking small logs into a little cabin-like structure with lots of handy gaps to poke the barrel through. Creeping in there a few mornings later in the pitch black I was about to sit down and get settled when I thought something moved...I figured it was a lizard, but blinked the light at it just to be sure....and there lay this guy, just waiting to be converted into a new band for The Bride's dove shooting hat. I don't copy Mr. Ripley's designs anymore.
