Photo Policy for Deer Photos

from 2021 Hunting Guide

Christian Bowhunters

The Fredericksburg StandardRadio Post has set guidelines for 2021-2022 hunting season photo submissions for print.

To qualify for free publication, photos must meet the following criteria:

• All animals pictured must be legally-harvested following all

Texas regulations; • Either the animal or the hunter must be from Gillespie County; • Only the hunter who shot the deer may appear in the photo with the animal — no exceptions; • Each hunter may submit no more than one photo per season — no exceptions; • The animal’s entire carcass must be present and attached to the head. (No caped out or head-only/ antler-only photos will be accepted.) • Pictures of does or spikes will not be accepted;

During regular business hours — Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. — available staff photographers will take photos of those stopping in at the newspaper office, 712 West Main Street. (Such images are in digital format and reprints will be made available for purchase through the newspaper’s online site, found at: www.fredericksburgstandard. smugmug.com.)

Submit a photo

Hunters may submit color photographs by emailing original, unedited images as separate .jpg attachments to: fbgnews@ fredericksburgstandard.com.

Digital submissions should be 300 pixels per inch or higher in resolution. Pictures of low resolution or otherwise poor quality in regard to lighting, framing and sharpness, will not be accepted. Photos printed on home printers and taken with older cell phones are generally not acceptable.

Complete and include the following information: 1. Name of the hunter and the city in which they live. 2. If the hunter is a youth, include his/her age, parents’ names and

their cities of residence, if this was the hunter’s first buck and who was accompanying the youth while hunting. 3. Daytime contact phone number. 4. Specific location where the deer was harvested (i.e. property or ranch name, general location in the county). 5. Time and date of the kill. 6. Number of points on the buck. (Newspaper staff are not responsible for counting points. that number must be provided before publication will take place.) 7. Measurements of the antlers, including width and height, and, if applicable, a Boone & Crockett score.

8. Field-dressed weight of the deer, if available.

All photos from the 2021-2022 season will be published no later than the Feb. 2, 2022 issue. Any hunters wishing to see their photos in print should submit them in a timely manner so the photo may be processed properly in time prior to the cut-off date.
