No offence, but with the hunters clearly sitting some distance behind the animal it's impossible to determine its relative size. Clever photography can make a minnow look like a whale.
Only with the hunters next to or in front of the animal can you get a true impression of size.
Right on, as usual, Bill!
One of my "pet peeves" is, particularly, bear and lion shots with the hunters so far back Tom Dempsey couldn't have reached them with a punt. I mean, such pics are obvious, so they only make me less impressed not more impressed with the critter's size. I've "faked" a few myself, but no longer. After I got into a fight with a small 130 lb +- bear sow I came to the conclusion that if a guy doesn't understand what a carnivore of any size can do, "who cares" trying to impress him.
Reality is where it is at as far as I'm concerned. A big bear or lion is big even with the hunter standing in front of it. And even a small one can ruin yer whole day!
I really liked that pic of the fellow sitting on that bear posted on the Cattle Killer post. If a guy can make a chair out of a bear's withers......
This one might be a bit staged, indeed, Gryphon, but I like it anyway. Vintage old stuff from Europe is very cool in my opinion. And the fact that it has three guys sitting there makes me wonder if all three got lead into that bugger before it gave up.
THANKS for posting!!
