Ken, having lived in Iowa nearly all my life, and having hunted those evil Chinese imports since the 1950's, I'd offer one piece of advice for your consideration as an engraver: When a mature, long-tailed rooster rises, there's almost always at least a bit of a "hook" at the end of the tail. Two feet of tail is a lot to flap around in the breeze, and in pheasant country, there's almost always some breeze!
