Fantastic photo of eland! I always appreciate more a photo of live animal. Besides it is much more harder to take such photo then a trophy photo
 
I like to take lots of photos from different angles from the time I walk up to the animal til it's loaded in the truck and sometimes unloaded and skinned. It really adds something to your safari photos and helps round out your story versus just the standard posed trophy shots.

In addition to the "typical" trophy photos, I like to get pictures of the rifle and/or ammunition with the harvested animal...some from different angles and others closeup...some with me in the pic and others not. Here are a few from my trip this month....two cape buffalo, two lions and a rhino.

@franzfmdavis Thank you for starting this thread and to other members' posts. It prompted me to revisit my Wyoming Elk hunt from 2012. I walk past the shoulder mount multiple times a day, but haven't looked at the photos in a few years. Here's a few you might enjoy.

It was 1 1/2 hour ride over steep terrain to the meadow where I shot my elk. The guide had to radio another guide who could get a signal back to camp and send someone out with mules to pack the elk back to camp.

I hunted with Triangle X, and Harold Turner (3rd Generation in Jackson Valley) was in camp and was the one who brought the mules - at that time I believe he was 72. That was a 2 1/2 hour ride to get to us which turned into 3 hour ride back with the mules loaded.

These are a couple of our ride back to camp.

Thats one of the many things I like about Frantz...he makes all of us think about things differently! I told him just yesterday, I really have enjoyed his posts over this past year as he presents new ideas, questions and thoughts! It's what makes our forum so great!!!

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.

Hello, I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any other left hand rifles you may let go of? Also can you send a few additional pics of Borden rifle?

Thank you.

I have a question about your scope. Is the Innomount an SR-to-Picatinny mount?
