Thanks for the advice. My last 2 deer pics are in the butchers shop and in the back of a pick up. I was just looking at disposables today for 10 bucks.

Frank! You seriously don't know about Tiffany? You let me down... [;0]
Let me paste something in here I found which may be helpful to you:
Tiffany Profant-I am a 26-year-old flight attendant from Minneapolis Minnesota working for Northwest Airlines. I spent much of my childhood fishing n northern Minnesota with my father Gary, but wasn't introduced to the great sport of hunting until just three years ago when I met Outdoor Writer Lee Lakosky. At the time I thought that it would be fun to try the sport of archery but never would have imagined that it would grow into the obsession that it has become. I released my very first arrow, in a hunting situation, in September of 1999 and when it hit the mark and I harvested my first whitetail buck I was absolutely hooked! Since that day I have been fortunate enough to harvest five more beautiful whitetail bucks, four of which are record book contenders. I harvested my best buck so far this past season in Kansas, a 147 5/8" eight point which can be seen along with my 125" Wisconsin 8point on Don and Kandi Kisky's "Whitetails taking it to the Extreme™ 2". I also enjoy turkey and bear hunting in which my Florida turkey hunt and my Minnesota Bear hunt can be seen on Realtree's All Stars of Spring 9 and Jay Gregory's "The Wild Outdoors" television show.

That is one fine lady. Why isn't there more fine women like that who love the outdoors? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
As for some pictures, I look forward to posting 2-3 of the deer I crush this year. Hopefully one nice doe, and two bucks. The two monsters that are roaming my hunting area this year. I know they are still there, because last year they avoided me all season long. <img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>
This year they won't be so lucky. But I'll use the advice you posted. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I just watched "Primetime Bucks 6" last night and they actually had a segment on "Taking better pictures" and it was a pretty good quick segment.
The main tips were:
1. Place a rock or log underneath the chest cavity which will raise the animals front up and make it appear fuller
2. Use windex to clean away blood from the mouth.....will make the whites much whiter
3. They also used HuntingBry's suggestion of taxidermy eyes to eliminate the 'Dead' look.......it was pretty slick and I might have to get a set. You just pop them right in with the deers eyes (no need to pluck out the eyeballs! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>) They looked great.
4. Get your weapon in the picture....helps tell the story.
I'm also looking forward to sharing my own pics this season.......I'll make sure I "Practice what I Preach"!

A couple of tips I've learned on taking pics:
Sky-light the Rack. Get the photographer to lie down and take the picture looking up. The light behind the rack will make it stand out.
Hold the Rack to the side of you. Notice all the pics posted in an earlier post, the lady is always to the side of the deer’s head.
If you’re by your self, get a tripod to put your camera on, use the timer or remote to take pictures.
Happy Hunting
