Photographing your Trophy

This part of the hunt is where the hunter's character is demonstrated to the world and is a symbol of your respect for the beautiful beast you have killed. Here is one example of scores of similar photos posted by hunters on the internet with text to the following effect: "Each time I shoot a deer I am impressed by the damage a 130 gr Ballistic Tip at 3,300 ft/sec does from the 7mm Rem Mag ."

Please do not even photograph these travesties. Better still - do not destroy and denigrate that beautiful animal like this

It should still be able to look like this when mounted

This is what your photos of the animal should show:

The blood from the perfect heart shot through the low shoulder wiped, no holding onto the animal and no display of a haughty attitude towards the animal. Want to guess who these two hunters are? Do not be fooled by the fact that they are not wearing camo.

More on setting up the trophy for photography later.
