Picture Submissions Standards:
- Photos submitted must be of animals legally taken by California Fish and Game Code with any required tags filled-out and attached, and the harvest has been reported to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, if required.
- Animals in photos must be displayed with proper respect in a tasteful, presentable manner.
- Firearms in photos must be placed in a proper and safe manner. Check your firearm position before taking photo.
Photography Tips:
- Take photos in the field before you field dress the animal. If the photos are taken after the animal is field dressed, please clean up as much as possible, and try to clean blood off your clothes and yourself.
- Take photos where there’s a natural backdrop like grasslands or woods.
- Keep the light in the face of the subject and on the animal (i.e., sun at the photographer’s back) making sure hats don’t shade the face and the photographer's shadow is out of the view.
- Fill the viewfinder with your subject and harvest. Avoid having too much vacant space.
Not all photos or information submitted may get posted or used.
