Update - January 2010: Black & white print attached to dark grey matboard. Image shows a hunting camp in the woods. A canvas wall tent is at side left & tall dormant trees all in background. A long log is hung on an A-frame supports creating a hanging rack for five deer which have been killed. They are hung on the rack by affixing their hind legs over the pole with a wooden stake driven through their knees. There are five men dressed in outdoor clothing & hats each holding a rifle. A young child dressed in warm clothing & holding an unusual rifle is standing by a seated man. Child apparently has a pistol on a dark rope belt around it's waist.
