Walking carefully through a path in the woods, the cowboy in this Noel Daggett print stops his horse abruptly when he hears a twig snapping from the dense brush beside him. Shoulders hunched and preparing to aim his rifle, the man on horseback appears tense and anxious to see what caused the noise. Surrounded by blueish-green pine and spruce trees that frame the mountain trail, the scene is evocative of the American Western forests that cover the mountains and hills of the area.
