A 55 inch tall one with a Mallard head would be perfect for me . The two tall ones I have to use have a carving near the top . I carved the outline of a coyote in one and I bought one on the internet that has a terrible eagles head. I use it but not when I go out. I will try and redo it. The stick is very good looking and strong. Being 79 and crippled up I would like a very nice one for special occasions.
