Two hunters in caps labelled 'IKE' and 'GEO.' stand in marsh grass beside a sign reading 'Humphrey Hunting Grounds', with smoking shotgun barrels and a flock of birds flying away overhead. The cartoon shows the president as having missed his shot; the technique is a weak-fit use of ridicule (name-calling) by caricature.
