I disagree 100%
We're not talking a monumental task here, we're talking just a few minutes to drag a deer from the back of a truck, out of a shop, getting off its back, putting the tongue back in the mouth, covering up excessive blood, smiling, ........ I mean very very basic, simple, easy to do stuff - hell you got it all right there, why not do it right and respectable instead of half ass ?
Thats what baffles me, it really does, and its indicative of people just not caring about the animal they hunt or the hunt itsself I think [&o]
Taking ANY pic would indicate they were probably proud of it.

Is this a bowhunting forum or a Sallie Foster Christmas Paper Design School? If someone takes a good pic, then great, I'll try and follow their lead, if someone takes a bad pic with tongue and blood, who gives a damn? I am not going to criticize him for it. Maybe he just don't give a damn about pictures, who cares?

I'm gonna stay tongue in cheek on this one 
[8D](pun intended)
15 pages...I don't have time to read it all - I can only imagine
Actually, I do prefer good pics these days - so I somewhat agree with stealthy. YES, I have some awful pics from long ago...but I didn't know any better and was just excited to get something. I'm still not a good photographer, but trying to takebetter pics for sure. I will spend the 2 extra minutes (if that) to clean up some of the blood, etc. Overall, I would agree that a nice(r) pic, is better all around - but I'm notgonna get my panties in a bunch over whatYOU do. Some of the pics I have seen lately aredefinitely over the top....but most are not.

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 !

Dont make fun of people and how they take there pictures... They are smiling its not like they are making fun or torturing the deer.

Exactly what i was gunna say. Im sorry stealthy that most hunters aren't as dainty as you.

Wow, breath a little. I like a good picture and I take a good picture. Some guys like the back of the truck, some guys like the field photo. Everyone has their opinion.
As far as this goes, find me a picture that is over fifty years old that doesn't have the deer:
1. Hanging in a tree
2. Over the hood of a truck/car
3. Just the head
I bet it will be hard to find. So the old timers were all wrong huh? Even though more people hunted back then than now?
And you can argue, "It was a diffrent time", but we let it get that way being so damn worried about what anti/non-hunters thought.

and the last few replies are what is wrong with today's hunting I'm afraid[

Not everyone is a photographer or has the same tastes. If they are happy with the picture, that's all that counts. Some people just drop by home to let the wife/kids see their harvest on the way to the meat locker. If one of my friends drops a nice buck or doe for that matter and they want a picture worth hanging on the wall, I'll set it up for them. If they ask me to just get a quick shot to have a picture, they get what they ask for.
