You hear it before you see it: a snort from the fencerow, then a flash of white as a buck explodes out of the brush and races across the hayfield, tail up like a flag and legs folding under him with every bound. Three leaps and he's gone into the timber. The Running Deer Oval keeps that heart-pounding second on the wall, showing a buck at full stretch with his rack held high, one hoof skimming a strip of tall grass. Every buck starts as a flat sheet of metal cut by hand, then takes one of two finishes: Hammered Black, an even, finely textured dark coat, or Rust Patina, a weathered blend of brown and olive gold. An open oval ring surrounds the running buck, the tip of one antler reaching up to touch the rim. It mounts with small nails, double-sided tape, velcro, or magnets. It fits the spots where boots and jackets pile up: a mudroom, a back hall, a farmhouse entry, the bunkhouse at deer camp, or the truck shop out back. Rustic wall decor with real movement in it, and a welcome gift for a wildlife watcher, a country homeowner, or anyone who brakes for deer on the drive home.
