“Tag: Hunting Photos”

Here’s an idea for a New Year’s resolution: Get your proud mug in the June issue of American Hunter magazine!

With our annual “Members’ Best” photo contest gearing up, we thought we’d give you a few tips to take your pictures to the next level, perhaps even to the pages of American Hunter magazine next June.

When hunting season opens, so do submissions for “Members’ Best”!

Anecdotal evidence suggests many hunters and gun owners are receiving Facebook ‘friend’ requests from people they don’t know—folks who aren’t even in their network on the social media forum. Even more onerous is an uptick in the number of hunters recently reported to Facebook for their ‘offensive’ hunting pictures. Is a social media jihad being waged against us on Facebook?

Truly great hunters aren’t seen on television. Their names don’t often grace shiny pages in print. The truly great ones are scattered along the open swaths of fertile pasture in the heartland, bogged down in the sultry Southeastern swamps and trekking the peaks of mountains in parts unknown. They succeed or fail not by the bag brought home, but the memories gained, the lessons shared and the inevitable feeling of self-accomplishment. Here’s to them. Here’s to you: the true American Hunter.

You've spent weeks, months and maybe even years preparing for your big hunt. Don't ruin your memories of it by rushing the trophy photo when it's all over. Follow these tips to make sure your next celebratory photo shoot produces pictures to be proud of.
