Beautiful buck CONGRATS!
Thanks for the kudos gentlemen, I had a blast loosing the arrow (after six seasons of passing on bucks)! I had almost forgotten what it was like, since snapping photos of horns isn't quite the same as coming to full draw on one! :archer2:
Congrats. I have found sometimes we aren't measured in the shots we take as much as the shots we don't. 6 seasons is something to be proud of. Glad you found one you wanted.
Nice one Z!
:clapper:
Enjoy the feast!
Shoot straight, Shinken

Well done.

Thanks Kentucky, I learned by listening to those who are in the business of writing about/promoting bowhunting, like TJ Conrads & Don Thomas ~ each of which who've written much on the subject over the years.
Taking quality field photos isn't something you rush thru either...for quality shots we should consider:
- the background (in the wild is best)
- clean the animal & mouth area of blood
- stick its tongue back in
- plenty of light & flash - even during daytime (which I forgot this time)
- photographer kneels & sits for various shots
- and from different/multiple positions
- takes LOTS of photos ("film" is cheap these days given digital cameras)
- get close to the subject, minimize the scenery
Those are the top tips I consider. Of course, practicing helps too, but getting those photo sessions creates a whole bunch of other discussions, dosen't it! :jumper:
Nice buck, congrats!
Great Buck. Congrats!
