Ever get tired of the photos?

I see these photos of bucks and the guys straining to push it out to look bigger.

Why not prop it up with a stick and get back 10 feet?

Maybe its time you shot something yourself for a pic.

But yeah, ive taken a couple stick pics this year myself. Not from a distance of course.

Old Chuck Adams in the 90's perfected the art of the grip and grin, blame it on him.

It's particularly funny when you see it in person and think "I thought it was bigger."

A little bit of positioning is ok for a good picture. But yes, it's annoying to see the long arm and sitting way behind it with a fish eye camera lense.

I only do that with fish. Lol

Diff angles do make things look bigger or smaller. Unique angles usually look a lot better than straight on.

It is mainly the straight arm shots that look goofy to me.

As long as the critter is unique I enjoy.

But if it’s a “dime a dozen” looking critter then I have to look close to measure the strain and then take that into account for size ha

I do find it funny how much effort people will go through to force perspective on their photos.

Only bothers me occasionally when I can already tell it's a really nice buck, they didn't have to sit 10 feet back. But hey, if that's what they enjoy putting in a frame on the wall thats cool

Have you ever seen an Elk this big? It's the biggest ever!
Old Chuck is the bestest ever!

 

[IdahoElk]

Chuck is the man!
The Elk's head is bigger than Chuck's whole body, how did he pack it out?

I was so excited with my first one that I leaned way into the middle of the antlers and flashed a huge grin like a goofball. Rack doesn't look small at all.

 

[BRTreedogs]

I don't think it works every time
I was like 15 ft back.
Still a dink

I don’t know…..but I know he’s had more world records than anyone else. So maybe they are big???

No doubt they are big, the Elk is the size of an Elephant

 

[Schoolhousegrizz]

Doesn't bother me, I just kinda smile. I still like seeing the pics.

I am having a harder and harder time with grip and grin photos posted online and in social media in general.

Why would anyone have a hard time with someone elses success photo? This thread belongs on a teenage girls Facebook page... Ed F
