What happens when you marry authentic American Hickory with a sculptured knob depicting one of America's most treasured wildlife species? You get an heirloom class, one-of-a kind hiking stick - and it's also a camera pod!Internationally famous wildlife artist Dave Morales has created lifelike sculptures of America's favorite wildlife species, and puts the paw-print (or feather) of that animal on the backside of the knob.Dave's original sculpture is captured for you in a custom casting made from alabaster stone & resin that is as beautiful as it is durable - this is one tough knob, made to go wherever you want to take it!Camera Pod Feature - Unscrew the knob and your hiking stick becomes a Mono-Pod for your camera, binoculars or spotting scope! Some of the best wildlife and landscape photos are taken early in the day or just before sunset, when (because of the available light) slower shutter speeds create a real blur problem for cameras that are not on tripods. Unfortunately most of us don't bother to carry a heavy tripod on a hike - but many of us wouldn't go anywhere without our hiking sticks. Here's the solution. The mono-pod feature holds your camera steady for that perfect shot. Awesome! Click to enlarge.Each Wildlife Knob has the animal on one side and the paw-print of that animal on the opposite side (Eagle has eagle feathers on opposing side). Complete with long-life rubber tip, leather wrist strap, descriptive hangtag.What Size Stick is for Me? Hiking sticks should be 6" to 9" above your elbow to help you get down a hill (you need to reach). Walking sticks and canes are different. First, place your arm to your side with the elbow slightly bent. The top of the handle on the stick should be at the break in your wrist. All of Whistle Creek's sticks can be shortened by removing the rubber tip, sawing off what is not needed and then replacing the tip. Orthopedic patients should consult their physician.
