I received pictures on a regular basis from hunters, clients, PH’s and Outfitters. Usually 40-60% of the pictures I receive are not usable. Here are some tips to take with you into the field. Follow these steps and you’ll take pictures everyone will be happy to see.
- Never take a picture of an animal with its tongue hanging out. Best to stuff it back in or just cut it off.
- Cleanup all excess blood on the animal. If there is blood on the ground – move the animal to a clean spot. Remember, we get people other than hunters looking at our online photos. All unnecessary blood in pictures shows hunters in a negative light.
- Always show the animal in the best possible position – be respectful to both the animal and the hunter.
- Don’t take pictures of game in the back of a pickup truck or 4-wheeler, this is not respectful to the animal and adds a negative connotation to hunting.
- Don’t take pictures of game hanging from a tree or in a skinning shed or garage – this is not respectful to the animal and adds a negative connotation to hunting.
- Cover all large entry or exit wounds with brush, grass or leaves. Large wounds are best covered.
- If the hunter is going to lay his/her rifle over the game, make sure the bolt is open and the barrel is clearly pointing away from the hunter. Double check the camera viewer or display screen before you click the picture.
- When you choose an area to take your trophy picture, make sure the setting looks natural. Avoid cars, 4-wheelers, blacktop roads, fences and signs in the background. Choose your spot and background wisely.
- Whether you are taking a picture for a friend or you are having a friend take pictures for you, please keep these tips in mind and you’ll have photos to really be proud of! Most of all, show respect for your trophy and respect for the sport we all love.

Safari Club International Foundation (SCIF) today commended Tajikistan Ambassador to the United States Abdujabbor Shirinov, and the country of Tajikistan, for lifting the moratorium on the hunting of Marco Polo argali. The 2010 season will officially open this Autumn.
“The government of Tajikistan is excited to announce the opening of a Marco Polo sheep hunting season for Fall 2010,” said Ambassador Shirinov. “Safari Club International Foundation has demonstrated their commitment to wildlife in the Pamir Mountains, and my country looks forward to the continued growth of our collaborative conservation projects.”
SCIF Conservation Committee Chairman Joseph Hosmer and SCIF Conservation Director Dr. Bill Moritz recently returned from Tajikistan where they helped to increase awareness about reopening Marco Polo hunting in key meetings with government officials, including Deputy Prime Minister M. Alimardon and the Chairman of Committee on Environment Protection of Tajikistan, Mr. Khursandmurod Zikirov.
Safari Club International Foundation is committed to a successful Marco Polo sheep survey for 2010 in Tajikistan. The first phase of the project was completed in August with the assessment of Marco Polo lambing success in the Eastern Pamir Mountains. A second phase will involve a population assessment in December 2010.
“It is with great thanks to the government of Tajikistan, Deputy Prime Minister Alimardon and Ambassador Shirinov that we have successfully begun the Marco Polo sheep survey for Tajikistan. We are also extremely excited and thankful to learn of the reopening of the hunting season for 2010,” said SCI Foundation President Dr. Larry Rudolph.
