H. H. West stands just right-of-center behind a boulder. His right leg is propped up on the boulder. He rests his right hand to his right leg. In his left hand, he holds the barrel of his rifle with the butt of the gun resting on the boulder. H. H. looks off to the right and wears a hat and suspenders. In front of him, 4 dead sage hen (grouse) lie in a row atop the boulder in the foreground. A hillside rises in the background at right. Ground brush expands into the distance behind him.
