    I like to find a big stick or something to prop them up against so it is easier to hold them... and the stick is behind them, not in the picture.

    Personal preference for me is to be at eye level and not looking up like you were an ant on the ground. But again personal preference. If I am taking the picture for somebody I am usually sitting or kneeling on the ground with them... but not laying down...

    I like to see the vegetation of the deer and where they hung out. South Texas hunts are gonna have cactus in it, etc.

    When taking pictures, if your phone has it, use the multi-shot (like 10 rapid pics). That way usually a few might turn out. chances are you are not blinking in at least a couple of the 10.

    Take a few pictures without you in it. I feel like we spend a lot of time trying to get us to look right... often times, I'll just play with the animal pose without me in it and those pictures tend to turn out nicer. You can use a tree/log/stick to prop the animal up.
    Took this pic of a buddies deer. No person and it's still one of my fav's.

        We try to get several different looks. Watch the light/shadows. My camera gets enough data that I can pull up shadows from caps, etc in the software. If possible, get the light behind you (behind person taking pic).

        If using a DSLR, I think it is best to use a larger aperture so the background will blur making the subject pop.

                LA, love the big8, man what tine length you have big daddy.

                  Very good tips throughout this thread.

                  I will add, get you a blue toothed shutter control which makes life much easier.

                  Here's a few that I've done. The deer was sun in my face but it still came out dark as it was getting late.

                            I would say lighting was critical to this photo, this photo was too bright and got him caught lol

                              So he should have taken the LDP's when he killed it via headlights...

                                I have used taxidermy eyes for flash photos to eliminate the glow back / dead eye. Simply slide them under the lid and it works well.
                                Ya I know..... kinda weird..... but it does work.
