A stand of trees and a wooden structure with tools hanging on the exterior can be seen in the distance. Pasted on the reverse (not shown), a caption, typed in black ink, reads, "It's all in getting the right kind of coaching," remarked Bing Miller, "and the rest is easy." Boston Red Sox coach exhibits his moose and elk trophies, shot in the Wyoming game fields."'Stamped on the reverse (not shown), in black ink, is the phrase, "LAST TIME USED NOV 28 1936 EDITION 2."
