When Max (MT resident hunter) left our place last Nov, I showed him the photo I took of him and his 2001 Muley Buck. He told me that the photo was terrible. Said that that buck green scored around 190 and I should throw that photo away. Heoffered to send me a copy of the photo they took at the time of the kill.

Here is the photo I took. I didn't think it was that bad, but wasn't 100% happy with it either.

Well, I got his copy in the mail the other day. After looking ar the two of them (several times), I decided that he was probably right. Here is his photo, what do you guys (and gals) think?

The bottom picture is clearer but if you didn't say they were the same deer I would never have believed it. The top pic looks like a much bigger animal than the bottom to me.

Nice deer. The bottom picture is better cause of the background and the angle. I ain't good at these pictures neither, but I think getting lower than the critter is best.

I hunted with an outfitter last year that spent nearly as much time posing a dead elk as he did dressing it. It makes a huge difference where the hunter is placed behind the animal. The critters look alot bigger when the hunter is poised somewhat low and reaching up to the rack. As BJ said, it also helps if the cameraman is a little lower than the picture.

Life begins where the pavement ends!

Both pictures are good. Darn nice deer. Looks like two different locations.
