Default RE: Canadien Monster Buck

The proof is right there on the outfitters site. You can disagree with the way it's photographed all you want but it's not a fake photo. Believe or not, the object of photos like this with the hunter sitting back is to put the main focus on the animal. I know some people do this to make an animal or fish look bigger, but some wildlife photographers have learned or been taught to set a photo up like this so the quarry is the main focus. I do a fair amount of photography myself and was taught this technique by an outdoor photographer. The photographer did not hunt himself and has zero interest in making the animal look bigger. I think it's a nice change from the usual back of the pickup, tongue hanging out pic. Nothing wrong with that if that's your fancy.

Like mentioned before, you can freeze a deer to sit like this on it's own.
