Bear and its hunters

Title

Bear and its hunters

Description

Black and white (overexposed) image of two men on a fern-covered stump with a dead bear. One man holds a rifle, while the other sits beside the bear. The bear itself is laying over the stump with its head and paws hanging down to the front. Both men wear work shirts and hats, and the visible vegetation is lush and thick. Tall pine trees fill the background of the image. The photograph was most likely taken in the Coast Range of Oregon, along the Wilson River. Donated by Thomas Clapshaw.
