Description

This postcard features a color image of four men displaying their duck hunting results. Their four guns are propped in a way to form a support for a pole that is holding the ducks. One man is standing in a boat on the river with one leg propped up and one hand braced on a pole that is in the water. Trees and water are behind the men. The title of the card is printed in red along the left edge of the card. An inscription is written in pencil across the back of the card. [see transcription field]
