Group of men in front of a wood building in the woods with a buggy and a team with a wagon. The men wear casual clothes, pants or overalls, sweaters, and hats. One man has a rifle, and another carries a wicker fishing creel. The man holding the buggy horse's bridle wears a dark shirt with buttoned 'shield' front. buggy is single horse, four-wheeled, and a second wicker fishing creel and a lantern are fastened on a shelf on the back. The wagon appears to have a canvas covered load filling the bed and is pulled by a two-horse team, but is otherwise obscured. In the background, the cabin is gabled with an elongated roofline on the left which covers a second section. The main section has an open door and sliding windows on either side of it; a third sliding window is set in the second portion. The ground is muddy, and a steep hill with timber and brush rises in the background.
