Corralling a Bison Bull at Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge in 1948

Bison bull running through a fenced in area (fences on the both sides, and in the back), heading in the direction of the camera. 3 people are standing on the fences, holding on to either the rails or a post (two of the people are on the fence on the right, with the third person on the fence in the rear). There is a gate (which is closed) on the far right of the fence at the back. In the background beyond the corral area is a field, and beyond that a belt of woods, with a mountain ridge in the distance
