Ya no tongue in pics. The trick is that if the animals mouth stays open when your holding it up for a photo or tongue is sticking out. Put the tongue back it its mouth or cut it off. Lay his head on the ground keeping his mouth closed for about 15-20 min and the rigs will set in and keep it closed. It will also tighten up the lips too so you won't see and teeth.

Better yet take a clear material and sew the mouth shut. I know who does this and makes the pic fantastic.

There are 4341 forum members and 98,900 EBH and EBJ subscribers.

Nearly 100k subscribers surprises me, I didn't expect it to be that high.. With 100k members, Eastmans could really sway the odds of units they like.

My worst nightmare is having my unit show up as a blue chipper in next years mag.

I can appreciate that, my favorite Antelope unit in Wy showed up as a blue chip a couple of years ago!!!!!!

Good advise for the next 1 but its a little late for this time. I would of put it back in and gone back to get the tripod to put the camera on and got better pics if I had thought about it but as I said I was a bit excited at the time
What about blood? Is it best to move your animal to a clean spot, clean it off their mouth ect? Was just looking at my pics again and noticed on my antelope the blood is really showing up in the snow and my deer has blood all over his chin.

Wonder if they'll publish a story of a hunt where you got skunked and came home to eat tag soup?
Well written and lots a pictures, just no dead animals!

I carry wet wipes with me for a few reasons. One is to clean blood from the mouth and nose also bullet wounds. I normally will drag a animal to a better spot to set up shots so there is no blood on the ground. Do the best you can. They can edit blood from pics pretty easy.

I would say that they wouldn't. Seems like we would see one from time to time but I haven't.

Somehow I don't think that CC would have a problem writting a story with trophy pics included. His whole life seems to be a hunting story.

There was a time when I really didn't want to go deer hunting with my Dad and friends. I was pretty young (early teens) and we hunted the early coastal season in Ventura County in Southern Calif that opened the first week in August. It was always hot as hell, up and down the hills, sweating like hell and seeing nothing but rattlesnakes. It really was not fun, all I wanted to do was go surfing with my pals and look at the babes. After 3 or 4 years I finally got a buck and things changed.

The more I look at my pics from last year the more improvements I see that I can make next time. Thanks for all the advise!

I was fortunate enough to have my sheep hunt pulished in the 25th anniversary issue. I was hoping the hunt would go well enough to do a write up for the mag. Having Eastmans in mind when I was on the hunt forced me to take alot more photo's than I usually do. I find myself looking at those pictures often and am thankful that I took the time to take them. I have had hunts in the past that may have been considered if I had done a write up and took more photo's. I will have these things in cosideration from now on, you never know when a hunt is going to one for the magazine.

That hunt helped me come up with my user name. I grew up stalking deer and elk in the timber, when I drew a sheep tag I didn't expect to kill one in the timber, but thats what happend. So I decided I was a Timberstalker
