In reference to this painting Maass has said “While on a recent reference trip a short distance west of Minneapolis, I turned onto a narrow gravel road, identified by a sign as Tomahawk Trail. Driving a mile or so, I viewed what I thought to be a perfect setting for a pheasant painting.” Sight; height: 23 1/2 in x width: 35 1/2 in. Framed; height: 31 1/2 in x 43 3/4 in.
