Interesting discussion and one which I've never really though much about when taking photos of trophy animals or just animals after a good hunt. Posted a link in the Mauser photo forum under Mauser 404 with a photo in which I'm propping up a buffalo head as best I could. This one shows how the animal can look small. In actual fact it was a large animal downed in the fairly soft grass area and my 6' frame standing over it. I enjoyed the hunt and the shot so I suppose that's all that matters.

Generally I've had to "self" photograph most of the time while holding up the head of an animal or crouching beside the head area.

Each to his own I guess but great photos Karl, I wouldn't say no to sitting next to them anywhere.

Cheers.
