I'm not much of a photographer... but IMO the position of the animal and the hunter are the biggest things to worry about.
I make sure to tuck all the legs under if you can and prop the animal up so it looks like its laying down, put the tounge back in its mouth, and wash off any blood.
Sit the hunter behind the animal on his butt, or kneeling if its a big animal. Sun in face if possible, if the sun is high in the sky... it will make for tough field photos.
Blue sky for a backdrop is great if you can get it... also make sure you clear away any underbursh, or rubbish in the foreground.
Here's a few good ones and a few 'OK' ones. I seem to have got better as I've progressed. Shooting pictures by your slef is pretty tough IMO, but I do the best I can. A small tripod makes all the diffrence in the world.
This was around noon... not much we could do for better pictures, minus hauling him to a new location... that wasn't going to happen.

flash would have helped on this one.

washing the blood and tusks off really made this photo.
This is one of my favorite pictures... this is an old scan of the original, which is much better. Wish I would have tucked the legs under however.
would have been better if I was sitting, with the mountains as the backdrop, and the cow not in the picture.
Less ground clutter would have REALLY made this a sweet picture. The sky was changing by the second, but I love this picture. The buck isn't to bad either.
