New Season has started fellas-lets see some NEW ones from this year. I plan on adding a couple myself....

This is one of my favorite Pics. It's A Doe I took in 1981 (29 years ago) on a weekend Hunt near Black River Falls, Ws.. SL50 Darton & Rocky Mountain 3 Blade Razor.

Trying to concentrate on doing a better job of preserving memories with qualiity pics. Please critique this one. I feel like it was pretty good, but I want honest opinions or thoughts on how it may have been improved. Thanks

I absolutely love this post. I am a stickler when it comes to taking kill pictures everyone in my hunting club busts my balls when they shoot a deer a and i go running to the truck to get my picture pack. I keep my good camera, a 1/2 gallon water jug, paper towels, wet wipes, a little tripod (just incase i need to set up a shot by myself and put the camera on a timer), and rubber bands (to keep the mouth closed) in it and clean and pose EVERY deer before I start snapping pictures

How about this one fellas?
I try for this style of picture - where the animals look almost alive still and the focus is on it rather than me, the bow or the pickup

I can't stress the importance of this enough. If you have to take 100 pics just to get a few awesome photos for your lifelong memories to pass to your kids and grandkids, it is well worth it. Passing along pics of deer dripping blood just isn't cool, nor is it a good representation of our passion of hunting.

Most all of the hunting mags you look at will not show pics of deer harvested that have blood all over them. The editors/photographers from Buckmasters have showed us at IMB Outfitters how to take quality pics for our Hero Photos. We make every effort to adhere to these standards. Sometimes a new guide will take less quality pics, but they quickly learn the correct way. It just takes a little effort to have picture perfect lifelong memories though.

Benno, that is a great pic. It is the same stance that I try to achieve with all the deer I set up for pics. Sometimes the hind legs can't be placed underneath and can be spraddled behind the deer. This position is good for any situation and especially if your harvest has already been field dressed.

MK, I just love that pic with your boy holding the deer. It makes me smile and warms the heart to see one so young involved in hunting.
