Featured in this lot is "Noble Retreat" by Dick Idol. “His instinct and experience tell him this battle is futile, so he makes a smart, fast retreat!” This bull moose statue shows a bronze-like finish. The sculpture has a very impressive design and is in great condition; one tine on the antler is broken. This is a Big Sky Carvers, Manhattan, Montana piece. Authentic outdoorsman and adventurer Dick Idol (co-founder of North American Whitetail magazine) knows the outdoors, and his art evokes the wonder like no one else's. He has translated his love of the outdoors into beautiful pieces of art that inspire and amaze. This wildlife sculpture is cast from Dick Idol's original, in a resin. A hand-done patina gives it a lasting bronze-like finish. Length: 22 inches, Width: 12inches, Height: 22 inches. Other than the one broken tine noted, this statue is in good condition.
