What do you think this one (pic) would score?

RE: Bowhunting Glamour Shots - at what point do they get "weird?"
 

As a former sports writer and later newspaper editor, I shot all my own stuff for my stories... It was nothing for me to shoot up two or three 36-pic rolls of film during a game so that I hopefully had ONE good pic to run on the front of the sports page the following day. Talk to any photographer who wants to get a really good, high-quality photo; they'll take about the same amount. The biggest mistake most people make trying to capture an event is to not take enough photos.

The best thing that's happened for photography in the last 15 years or so is the advent of digital cameras; it allows someone to reel off 50 or so pics in short order. It really shouldn't take someone more than 15-20 minutes of extra time to snap 100 pics or so with a digital camera, which should yield a handful of decent pics. (I know someone's thinking it ... you must be a really terrible photographer if it takes that many to get a good photo... I'm not talking "good" here... I'm talking the best you can get to capture the moment. I won several awards for my photography during my journalism career, and it's because I understood composition, subject matter, and lighting -- and I wasn't scared to burn film.) Film is cheap (digital pics even infinitely more so), but the moment is fleeting.

Think of it this way: if photographers are willing to eat up a memory card to get one good image which will make the cover of tomorrow's newspaper only to be used as bird-cage lining the next, shouldn't you be willing to spend an extra fifteen minutes to capture a great photo to have the rest of your life? And once you clean the animal, come home and get him butchered up, you can never go back and do it again.

Where's his pants? Is he one of those "hunt in the nude guys"?
I'm not big in the glamour thing but for God's sake at least put some pants on!

Guys, that's my friend Sam. He'll gut and drag anybodies deer because he's into it that much!

This deer was killed by another friend, Ron. The deer ran out into the middle of a large, swampy pond and died. We went looking for it at night and Sam found it and volunteered to get it for Ron. I volunteered to hold the flashlight! It was 29 degrees out! You had to be there, it was kind of spooky, algae and weeds all over the place. Looked perfect for alligators (none in Wis thank God). I would've given $100 if that buck would have given one last kick or gasp as soon as Sam's hand touched it!!

It was a big one, about 151+, 13 points, 207 dressed.

My eyes, my eyes, their on fire, oh some things should be kept to one self, and this is one of those things. Greg I am not sure if those are tightie whities or not, and I don't really want to know either.Butthey do look blue to me, with that said, someoneelsearound here is famous for showingpics of himself in blue undies.Are you sure that Davidmill wasn't around when you took this pic? That would be a scary thought.

If I had a deer like that down I would get wet too!!!
Tell him congrats and tell him he is now famous on hunting net.

I am scarred for life after that blue border half naked guy photo.
This is a great classic thread.

I'll cut him some slack cause it was hit first buck, but Mobow's pic of him staring at his deer is a little on the freaky star gazer side. [8D]
