since you asked yes - they're horrible pictures. You could have spent 5 minutes and had some really nice photo's of your trophies, instead you were lazy and cared nothing about it and snapped horrible field photo's - something nobody can be proud of.
I don't sugar coat things - sorry guys. You know what may be part of this? The difference might be people who love hunting vs people who just kill animals. The difference might be people who respect hunting, and the animals they hunt vs people who don't. And yeah, call me wishy washy if you want, there is a spiritual side of hunting, its more than a sport, its a lifetime adventure and it encompasses so much more than just filling a tag.
Its almost like some of these photo's have went out of their way to be as nasty as possible and the guy who is in the photo looks the complete idiot for it - there is nothing respectable about bad field photo's [&o]

Stealthy, I guess we know your distaste for the poor field photos taken. Any comment on the guys who post pictures of hearts with perfect broadhead holes through them, or photos of wounds inflicted by certain broadheads?

What makes anyone think that non-hunters or PETA will like it any better if we take "clean, respectful" pictures? The animal is already dead. Dead is what PETA has a problem with, not pictures.
A non picture perfect picture is not disrespect. It is a simplematter of importance to the hunter, that hunter, what kind of picture he chooses to take. When I shoot a deer, I will take a moment to sit or kneel down beside it, even look into its eyes and thank the creator for allowing me this magnificent creature. I will then drag it back to my truck where I may decide to take a picture before heading out. That picture does nottell the tale ofme kneeling down and looking into its eyes thanking the creator. That picture might have blood in it. Doesthe blood or chosen posemean I never paid my respects?
Some of you guys are something else.

He doesn't have to care about it dude. I don't see why it matters to you so much. Seriously. Like others are saying, at least Matt tried giving informative tips, and help people. You are just trying to get your point across, and do that no matter what it takes. It's not workin too well it seems like

Some of the photos I've seen lately are absolutely a disgrace to the animal, the hunt and yourselves. Drag it out of the back of the truck onto some grass, maybe a nice background of woods/field, stick the tongue back in the mouth, cover up the blood with your bow maybe, dont straddle the deer PLEASE ........ I mean c'mon it takes another 2 minutes to turn what you took as a crappy photo into one that you can actually be proud of !

That is no reason to call those people lazy or an idiot. Not everybody shares your opinions.
Like I said, just a very few minutes can turn horrible photo's into good ones -
Like I said earlier...to each his own!!
maybe some people hunt alone and don't have the luxury of having people haul their game around for them for a picture.
Stealthycat II has made it right next to Dopler on my list of A$$holes on this site. I like seeing the pics of what people harvest, who realy even thinks about all that stuff when taking a photo unless maybe it is going to be in a magazine.
I care - its my sport and this whole not caring thing that 1/2 the posts in reply here echo is what's wrong with this country and sport anyway [
]
I understand if you want to pose with the animal for a picture that you want to display or cherish in a frame or whatnot, but simply to snap a pic of your deer in the back of your truck is no more or less respectful than taking it to Olin Mills for a glamour shot.
mr4pt nobody believes that for 1 second.
