anyone have best practices for these? Rob shared some goo knowledge regarding deer pics, but not many listen, so let's see so good truck bed photos of your turkey kills. Or, other stellar pics display these April fools.

I find it hilarious that people get worked up about pictures of dead animals. Oh sorry, harvested animals or what ever is politically correct. I don't care what pictures I take of the animal(s) but some people don't have time to wait until the morning or get it set up in another area that is much more beautiful than where it croaked. Take a picture for your memories and enjoy it. I once hung a set of deer testicles on my buddies trailer hitch. Thought it was better than fake balls hanging. I took a pic but I am sure that many would find it tasteless but I found it hilarious when he drove around with em.

When taking pics, it"s all about the rule of 1/3rds. Never have more than a tennis balls worth of empty space at the top of the pic. Use the early morning and late evening sun to get the "golden light" pics. Always have a good backround and keep the photographers shadow out of the pic. Putting the subject facing the bright sun is not always the best way to take a pic. Too many shadows can come up and certain things will be "blown out" with brightness.

Use the water hose on them to get that rain storm kill look.

This was our first double on the new farm back in 2011, wasn't done painting the old store and my how it has changed over the years. Was sure a fun day for sure.

This turned out to be a disaster, archery spring jake with 7 beards. Wish they would have been visable so he could have been passed and one of his buddies shot instead. It would have been nice to have shot him a year later, although it would have been hard on the wallet since he would have had to make a taxi appointment
