Yes you are right! I struggled to get the deer in that pose and he was still some what flexible, but well worth the work. When I shot my buck his legs would not cooperate and my brother was wanting to get home, it was dark and things where not working out, but I still regret not asking my brother to hold the deer as I tucked the legs and posed the deer, they was just to stiff and I could not get it done. With dads deer we had the deer at the truck and ready to put in, then I realized what I had did an started dragging the deer back to the edge of the swamp and he thought I was nuts for a second. Then when I was ground wrestling his deer he really thought I was nuts! Went to take the pic and he just bent over a little and looked up, I had to tell him to take a knee, he knew I had flipped my lid at that point! The pic is going to Wal-mart.com for a print, he will see what ten minuets worth of work for a pic got him, only ten minuets and a pic to hang on a wall with pride.

You started it last year Don, and then some guys in the regular forum preached on it, and it is well worth the effort for the pic. I even covered the high shoulder neck shot with the gun! I did have the willies as I jammed the bucks tongue down its throat, visions of lock jaw! LOL!! And yes john, that was my fourth trip back up to deer after I tried to take photo, dad was tired of getting rained on at that point! Did not have the nerve for a fifth to tell him to hold the head up more, figured I was pushing it with him! LOL!!
