This is such an unusual mural. It has a lot of action and a disquieting surrealist feel. It is on the side of Bucksport Sporting Goods in Eureka, California. I remember it from the late '70s when I lived in the region. The photo is from 2018.

A color landscape photo of a surrealist style mural on the side of a building. The image is of hunters camped next to a stream in a wooded area. There are four people, three adults and a boy. A campfire burns in the lower left. Two men at center-right are seated on rocks. One man in a red shirt is putting a splint on the right arm of the other man furthest right. The man receiving the splint is barefooted with his boots sitting on the ground slightly behind him. A man behind the two men in the foreground sits in a canoe with his back facing the viewer. He appears to be arranging things in the canoe as if they are getting ready to leave. In front of the canoe lying on the ground is the rack (antlers) of a moose. A boy on the opposite of the canoe is pointing across the stream while turned and facing the three men. His mouth is open apparently alerting them about the bear and two clubs he has spotted across the stream. The trees on both sides of the stream are in fall colors. The shoreline is very rocky with big boulders. Outside of the mural, on the far left is a man in a hat with a walking stick leaning back looking at the painting. He casts a shadow on the wall, but he is also a painted figure and part of the mural.
