RE: deer pictures
WOW, I guess I must appologize. I think that I am the first one that mentioned the bed of the truck in the original thread.
In my opinion and this is just my opinion. If you are going to go through all of the work to bag such an animal, why not take an extra 5 to 10 minutes on top of the numerous hours already put into it to take a few good pictures. Granted, not all of the pictures of my animals have been great ones, but every year I try to get better. You don't have to drag them back out to the woods. Drag them out into the yard in front of some bushes or something. I know I might hurt some feelings of people I have come to know and like, but to take pictures in the back of a truck illustrates just how lazy some people are.
The year I shot my P&Y, I drove 10 miles one way and then 10 miles back just to go home and get my camera to take pictures where he laid. And this was on Thanksgiving morning and I was in charge of the turkey. I took a chance at messing up the whole dinner to try and get some good pictures. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't look at that picture on my office wall here at work. I am proud to hang that picture. If that deer was in the back of a truck, it would look rediculous hanging on my wall.
Again I appologize for causing such a ruckous, and again...it is just my opinion.
