The Hunt Photo Tips

OK, after you taken that head of game and before it reaches the freezer you want to record the event. Here's some photo tips to make your record of the event a little better.
1) Clean up the blood. A little water and you and your trophy will be more appealing to friends and family.
2) Push that tongue into the mouth. Yours and the animals.
3) Prop up the head and torso so everyone can see just how good the animal looks.
4) Try different positions around the animal. Kneeling over him, squatting behind him, actually hold the head up in front of you, even hold that trophy up, show'm off.
5) Include some background. Let people see a bit of where you took the animal. That's part of the hunt right?
6) Smile, this was a good deal, look like you enjoyed yourself.
7) Use support if need be. Setting the animal on a saw horse or lying across the top of a set of stairs will let folks see more of that trophy.
8) Try the gun/bow/spear in different places, lying on the ground in front, across your chest, propped against the animal, lying on top of the animal.
9) Take a bunch of photos. You paid big bucks for the gun, the lease, the trip, don't scrimp on disk space. More photos means you have more poses and angles to show.
10) Close the eyes on dead animals that dead blank stare can really be distracting to people, especially non-hunters.

You want the photos to high light that great hunt. I hope others will add other tips.
