Photograph of Wilfrid Cline, Jr. holding up a rifle and aiming up his shot to shoot a large hawk that is out-of-frame. Wilfrid stands in the middle of a dirt road at center. His traveling party has stopped while en route to Cow Creek so he can hunt a large hawk. He stands with his back to the camera and aims his rifle to the left. The road spans from the lower right, up to the left and curves back towards the right as it recedes into the distance. Trees and rocks sit off to the right side of the road inside the curve. On the far side of the road, fencing runs alongside the road and trees stand in the background.
