    Don't forget the Number 1 Trophy Photo tip !

    If you expect a Great Trophy Pic to cherish for the years to come...never use Too Much Gun for the animal pursued...
    Hard to wipe it off for the Pic

    Good article.

    Regarding the Coyote, I'm not sure its in our best interests to use a 300 magnum on a Coyote, when a .22 or .223 will do.

    I'm always conscious of what the anti hunting crowd will say when they see photos like that. Maybe the hunter didn't expect an exit wound such as that. But the anti hunters don't understand ballistics, and energy etc and will use info like that against us.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Thumbs down Re: Trophy photo tips

    Yes I had some albums of nicely done trophy and wildlife pictures gathered over forty years and really enjoyed showing them off to anybody who came by to have a beer and bs session. Then some sob stole the whole collection some years back...I'm still not happy about whoever that ah is. I don't show off anything now and can't replace those stolen. But it sure was nice to have them while I did.

    I don't think that was very good shot placement on the 'yote. You look to be 2-3" too far back for a clean kill.

    not to be picky but i beleive that goes against rule 15:

    15. No bloody shot up animals, organs or intrails in the forums or gallery. When taking pictures of your animals please try and pull it away from the gut pile before you start taking pictures.
