Hunting Dogs for Weathervane Wednesday!

 This weathervane was photographed in Freeport, Maine.

Route 1 in Yarmouth and Freeport, Maine has a short section with loads of weathervanes!  The next time you are there check out all the weathervanes between the Maine State Visitor Center in Yarmouth and Lower Main Street in Freeport.  This silhouette of a hunter with two hound dogs is located on a cupola above the Maine Floor Supply building at 125 US Route One South in Freeport.  It is highly detailed for just a silhouette, with a cap on the hunter, his rifle, and two dogs.  Both dogs seem to have found the scent with their noses at attention. 

I know that this is Maine, and everyone in Freeport seems to be a sports enthusiast, but this weathervane seems a bit inappropriate for a flooring supply store.  Perhaps this building was originally a fish and game supply store? Or a gun shop?
