I like it. Stocky fella. Never tried a long lean animal like this or a heron,

summat I need to have a go at. Done ma fair share of chunky rabbits.

Like the markings. They have some antler/horn thingys I think.

I use a 550 xp 15'' bar for blocking out, sthil ms 2ll 15 " carving bar, and a sthil ms 181 12 inch carving bar.I'm thinking on getting a bigger saw and bar for bigger wood but not sure what I need . Ray
