Re: Big bucks and truck bed pics....

Yeah, Most of my pictures come from the truck bed or in the backyard. 95% of the time I'm hunting by myself and dont have anybody around to take any "quality" pictures. Or alot of times its too dark......Im sure them two factors are the same with most anybody else as well.

Yeah I really wish my step dad would have tooken picts of my first buck when we were in the woods. I don't know why he didn't kinda sucks. Only pic I have of it is him hangin up in the garage which really sucks. I agree with oneida man James Vee does an awsome job with his field pictures!

Yes, I forgot my camera and by the time I thought of it the Buck was in the truck. I had seen another post on this subject before and agree that seeing the buck in a more natural setting would be preferable. I just plain forgot. Something about gettin old i think. What were we talking about confused.gif

Re: Big bucks and truck bed pics....

I would rather see a deer in the field but if i harvested the deer, i would rather a truckbed shot rather than no shot at all. I always try to get alot of shots in the field and then a shot or 2 in the back of my truck. I dunno why i do that... i just kinda like to grin.gif

This post reminds me... i finally scanned the field shots of the deer i shot this year. I tried to post them but was unable. maybe tomorrow i'll try again

Lately I've been trying to take better pics. But the ones I actually post aren't great because I have to borrow my bros digital cam, and by that time I'm no longer in the woods. Also most of my hunts are evening hunts, by the time I kill one, and field dress it, its dark.

I have tried to do much better the last 2 years since I joined here. I even drug my 8 pointer out of the truck and into the timber when I got back home so I could have someone take a picture of him that gave him some respect.

Hello (pause) My name is Kirk and I too was a truckbed picture taker.....wimper....shame. LOL

Re: Big bucks and truck bed pics....

Big bucks tend to weigh a lot I think, so to drag them out of the bed, set them up pretty and take a nice field photo, then haul them back into the bed again is something that a lot of guys either never think of, or don't care to have a great field photo I guess.

This past year I hauled my deer out of the bed, took pictures, and hoisted him back up, but I had the help of my weighlifter friend, otherwise I'd have probably have done the truck bed picture thing.

Yea my dad is all about pics which is cool, but sometimes holding that deers neck in the right posistion for so long, just gets me tired, especially knowing that i have to gut it and drag it out yet

That's funny, I was just reading over this thread and saw my name pop up a couple of times. I don't think the majority of big buck pictures are taken in the back of the pickup or in the garage, but I do think that there are a lot of those pictures around. And for whatever reason, those pictures in particular are always floating around on the net.

Re: Big bucks and truck bed pics....

yeah....field photo's are great. I agree. but when I shoot a deer at 4pm, and have to gut it and it's a 2 to 3 hours drag out...taking a picture is about the last thing on my mind. When i have someone to help me, and it is convienent...I'm definately taking field pics.

This is my excuss too.

I mainly hunt alone, not always but mostly.

Seems like by the time I find it and get the camera out its pitch black.

Might as well take it from the truck when I get home.

Re: Big bucks and truck bed pics....

hey--I like pictures in the field as much as anyone. I might go to a little extreme but I carry a small tripod in the truck with me to mount my digital camera on for taking pics. My camera has a 9 second delay option so that usually gives me plenty of time to get back in the pic.

However---I don't mind seeing a pic in the back of a truck or in the garage. It doesn't take away from the quality of the hunt or the buck.
