I'm also not a fan of that type of "pose", nor do i really like the weapon in the picture.
Working for an outfitter, i have learned to take what WE call "proffesional" photo's, or "brochure" photo's.
These type of pictures have the animals legs tucked under neath, all the blood cleaned and washed away as possible, bullet holes plugged, glass eyes put in, grass and vegatation cleared out from in front on the animal, ect; ect.
It takes a bit of time to do, but well worth the effort.
But in my personal hunting photo album, i'm not as anal about it.

I do not take any of those pictures personally, however I have some of my Dad and Uncle when they were young... This was in an era when a heavy 26" 4 pt. was common and OTC tags were frugal. Now It is much harder hunting and times have changed. I look at those photos and it shows how different hunting used to be, FUN. Now everyone is pissed off out in the woods and has a chip on their shoulder. Those older type photos show the Basics of what it all used to be about.

That's what it's still about to me, even if I'm hunting alone it's about having fun and enjoying the outdoors. I try to always take magazine quality pics, but I do it because they just look the best and they also show respect to the animal. Scott

It's obvious some pictures are better than others. Not only do the "cleaned" up pictures look good, but they can make the deer/antlers look bigger than they really are. They can make magazine covers and are suitable for framing.
That being true, two of my favorite family photos are of my 4 & 1/2-year old son on the buck he "helped" me get last fall. It's a head-on photo and my son is sitting on the back of the neck holding the antlers with his arms stretched wide. It's a great photo!
The other is of my son-in-law when he got his first 4x4 buck (had taken one 2-point). He knew nothing of hunting when he started and had hiked a LOT of elevation and taken flak for misses over a 5 year period. It was bad enough to have had his father-in-law beat him, but so had his mother-in-law. The picture of him "riding the deer" and waving his hat in the air like a bronc rider depicts frustration and success all at the same time.
My point......only that photos are for memories and memories should be happy and pleasant, whatever the artistic make-up.

Take the best photos that are possible and LOTS OF THEM!
The moment fades so quickly and will only be a memory in the blink of an eye.
I don't mind weapons in photos especiallly archery gear.
