Are you looking for hero shots or just general pics of bowhunters in the field?  I've got a couple good ones of my kids bow hunting but none of them with a kill yet.

Any chance of adding a scenic category type pic now and then?  If you look at some of the threads like "It's time to cut the bull", "Pics of where you hunt" or "Share a camp pic" there are some amazingly good pictures.  I think it would be kinda cool to share that sort of picture with maybe a sentence or small paragraph about it.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Frankly, the hero photos get a little tiring, they are everywhere nowadays.  And the hunter sitting way behind the animal to make it look bigger is goofy, and out of touch in my opinion.

I love kids, and camps, and family groups, or just shooting and campfire photos.  Someone fletching arrows; cresting; hacking at a bow stave...anything but hero photos.  Okay...some hero photos.    "[dntthnk]"

this one says it all for me...my best mate and long time shooting partner on his first trip "away" with me into the great unknown of western New South Wales Australia. upon return from each trip afield over the years he has called me wanting details and stories of my adventures. his growing business and family has pretty much restricted him to rabbits and stumps close to home...so this trip... the months of questions, gear preparation, shooting practice....not only gave him the taste of what i'd been telling him of for so long, but served as an important reminder for myself not to take each and every minute afield as a blessing.....
and what did he say just as i pointed the camera at him as the sun began to fall across the plain the evening...
he looked at me with a restrained smile and said quietly
" now i get it ....this is real adventure isn't it...."

from someone whom generally shudders with disapointment at their own lack of photographic skill, this is a photo that i'm genuinely proud of

I think you can tell I feel more shocked than like a hero.

I like the landscape shots of a hunter on top of a mountain at dawn or sunset....always stirs feelings in me. Any mountain from Alaska to the Adirondaks, White mountains to the Smokies and of the Rockies are good to.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

There is something spiritual about the sunrise/sunset on the mountain.

I agree, the King has some awsome pics like that with sunsets.  I do like the hero shots though  because it gives a good reprentation of what these bows are capable of to visitors to the site that may be thinking of switching from compounds.

I like 'em all. Old black and whites are really cool.

In defense of the hero shots, sometimes when you're doing it yourself with the self timer and the camera is balanced on a rock on top of a log, it's pretty hard to compose the perfect shot. When guys intentionally try to make the horns look bigger, that is lame.

Here are two that I've also posted before on other threads of my daughter Lindsey last winter on her birthday.  We were on a bunny hunt.

This is my best "hero" shot.  I am smiling in the pick but the sun is blinding me so it looks like im pissed off at the world, but really I am super happy.
