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.
