Anyone got any of the neat little tricks they would care to share when taking photos of those hard earned mountain trophies such as Dall Sheep that make the most of the mountain terrain and amazing animals themselves?

There have been several articles over the years about this. Here is one:

You or your guide will likely have a tripod for the spotting scope, so make sure your camera has a mount that will fit the tripod's quick release fitting.

Being concerned about weight while hunting the mountains, a quality lightweight tripod is a must, preferably the one your going to use with your spotter. Next, a good compact camera with adjustable zoom, and a high megapixel.

Everyone wants a good back drop with the view of you and your trophy on site. Another thing to consider is time of day, weather conditions and location ( sometimes, you don't have a choice) I know some have shot rams at night and waited until first light for pics, here in AK you don't have to wait very long, maybe a couple hours. Lastly, always pack some wipes, to clean the bloody mess, if your trophy should take a long roll down the hill or do a cliff dive. Lots to mention here but ...you get the idea, Good luck, and can't wait to see the hunt report with your pics.

Thanks AK, mate would never have thought of wipes for cleaning up for the pics. Sure makes a difference a nice 'white' sheep instead of one with the stains....
