Walking Gun Field Sports Photography At Walking Gun, we specialise in capturing the moments that matter — the fine details, fleeting expressions, and unrepeatable atmospheres that define a sporting day. Whether you're stalking a stag on the hill, standing on a peg in a Devon valley, or watching a trusted dog work cover, we believe these moments deserve to be preserved with care, clarity, and craft. Our approach is rooted in experience and discretion. We understand field sports — not just the technical aspects, but the etiquette, rhythm, and emotional weight of the day. We don’t stage or interrupt; instead, we walk quietly alongside, blending into the background and allowing the story to unfold naturally. The result is photography that feels honest and immersive — a true reflection of your experience. Walking Gun has earned a global reputation for delivering the highest quality field sports photography, underpinned by unwavering discretion and confidentiality. Many of our clients are high-profile individuals and families who trust us not only for our artistry but for our professionalism and sensitivity. We honour that trust at every stage — from field to final image. What sets Walking Gun apart is our commitment to narrative. Each image is carefully composed, not just to show what happened, but to help you feel it again. From the soft dawn light to the last cast or final shot, we capture the entire arc of the day — the anticipation, the action, the stillness, and the shared moments in between. These photographs become more than mementos; they are visual stories that grow in value over time. For estates, outfitters, and individual Guns, our work offers lasting benefits. It elevates the experience for your clients, creates elegant marketing assets, and documents the legacy of days that can never be repeated. For individuals, it is an investment in memory — the chance to revisit a perfect moment, years from now, and see it exactly as it was. Our galleries are diverse — from driven grouse and high pheasant to stalking, fly fishing, and European shooting — but the philosophy remains constant: attention to detail, reverence for the sport, and the belief that every great sporting day deserves to be recorded beautifully. At Walking Gun, we don't just take photographs. We preserve experiences — so that you can return to them, share them, and pass them on. Happy to travel so please reach out to discuss a permanent visual record of your next hunt.

This time of the year is always tough photography wise for me. Here's one from last December! 🫎❄️🚁📷 . . . ***For what it's worth, this is taken very far above and heavily cropped in. I minimized my time around the animal, and all the while, I was monitoring the animals’ body language for a change. Always make sure to practice ethical wildlife photography if you find wildlife with your drone.*** . . . #maine #newhampshire #newenglandwildlife #newhampshirewildlife #mainewildlife #zone4 #moose #moosephotography #mooseofinstagram #bullmoose #mainemoose #newhampshiremoose

The Funniest Photos in the History of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Contest. My selection of 12 funniest photos in the history of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year is an annual international wildlife photography competition held by the Natural History Museum in London, England. Every year, the museum hosts an exhibition of the winning photographs, which are then taken on a worldwide tour. This event is considered the most prestigious wildlife photography competition in the world. There is no specific category for comical photos in the competition. However, I believe that they should consider adding one.

Crocodile hunting. Egypt, 1870s. Photographer: Henri Bechard Henri Bashar opened a studio in Cairo and sold tourists photographs with views of ancient Egyptian structures. From the 1st millennium BC to the 4th century AD (Roman period), the ancient Egyptians mummified millions of animals, most of the mummies were classified by Egyptologists as ‘votive sacrifices’ to gods and goddesses. Before the construction of the Aswan Dam, Nile crocodiles were found throughout the Nile. Moreover, in ancient times crocodiles were found in Israel, Lebanon and Syria. The ancient Egyptians hunted crocodiles for their mummies, scientists have come to this conclusion. The crocodile, from which the ancient Egyptians made one of the mummies, was not grown in special conditions at the temple. Scientists from France and the United States came to this conclusion after studying the remains using an elementary particle accelerator, the Journal of Archaeological Sciences writes. Experts examined the crocodile mummy from the Lyon Museum, for a long time it was located in the Kom Ombo temple in southern Egypt. The animal was embalmed at a time when Egypt was ruled by the Roman Empire. The artifact was studied at the European Synchrotron Radiation Center in Grenoble. During the work of the international research program MAHES (Momies Animales et Humaines EgyptienneS), we analyzed the crocodile mummy using synchrotron multiscale microtomography. The findings show that the animal was killed while living in the wild and then quickly mummified. This allows us to suggest hunting as a way to obtain a crocodile for mummification. This practice, which has never been documented by Egyptology, is the first concrete evidence of the use of hunting to obtain animals for mummification.

Blackfeet Nation in Banff National Park, 1913. Photographer: Rolanda W. Reed The Blackfeet, also known as the Blackfoot Confederation, are an Indian people or a group of linguistically related peoples living in the northwest of Montana in the USA and in the south of the province of Alberta in Canada. The name of the people — Siksikaitsitapi — comes from the color of moccasins, siksikanam "black" and okkati "foot". According to legend, the Blackfeet led the migration of Western Algonquins from the Red River Valley to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Up until 1730, the Blackfeet traveled on foot and used dogs to transport their utensils. The Shoshones acquired horses much earlier than the Blackfeet and soon occupied most of modern-day Alberta and Montana, as well as part of Wyoming, raiding their enemies. When the Blackfeet saw their horses for the first time and realized all the advantages of these animals, they wanted to take possession of them. They named the ponokamite horses "moose dogs." Horses could carry a much larger load than dogs, and moved at a higher speed. They could be used for hunting and movement. The Blackfeet began a long-term struggle between neighboring tribes for the fur trade in 1800, which often escalated and ended in armed skirmishes. The theft of horses from Europeans and other tribes was not only proof of the courage of warriors, but often also a contribution to the survival of the people, as many Native American tribes began to depend on hunting bison on the Great Plains. In 1806, several Piegans visited the camp of the Lewis and Clark expedition; during the visit, one of the warriors tried to steal horses and was killed by white men. After that, the Blackfeet declared a merciless war on the Americans. In 1806-1831, there were many skirmishes between the Blackfeet Confederacy and Mountainmen and fur traders. In 1862, gold was discovered in western Montana and thousands of prospectors flooded the lands of the Blackfeet. There were frequent armed skirmishes between them and the Indians. By 1866, the conflict between white people and the tribes of the confederacy in Montana had escalated so much that it was referred to as the Blackfoot War. In 1872 and 1873, the United States Blackfeet lost most of their territory, and the size of their reservation was greatly reduced. Later, in 1898, the U.S. government abolished tribal governments and banned the practice of traditional Native American religions. In blackfoot mythology, the supernatural world is dominated by the Sun. A cult of personal patron spirits was developed. Personal guardian spirits most often appeared in the form of animals; they guarded people, helped them, giving their instructions in dreams. The main ritual is the annual Sun Dance, which ended the summer bison hunting season. The sacred food during the festival consisted of buffalo tongues. Modern Blackfeet live both on reservations and throughout the United States and Canada.

The hunt photographed here was more difficult than most — for reasons beyond the weather and rugged terrain. It was my first trip back to Alaska since my father’s death in March of this year.⁣ ⁣ Dad had joined me in Alaska twice before. The first trip was to fish and explore, the second to hunt caribou above the Arctic Circle. I remember asking him, “Do you want to go caribou hunting?” He shook his head with a quick, “No, not this year.” I pressed, sliding a plane ticket and his caribou tag across the dining room table. Surprised but hesitant—65 years old and a little nervous—he said yes. By June, he was packed and ready for our mid-September departure. That was Dad—quietly determined, but always prepared. We had a great hunt, and he killed a nice bull.⁣ ⁣ On each solo hunt after that, I’d message him with my InReach every few days, updating him on close calls and wild moments. He loved it all. Last year, I wrote from the Alaska Peninsula, “Dad, I thought we had a big earthquake today—caught it on film—but turns out it was a volcanic eruption nearby.” He shot back with his dry humor: “Oh, I just hate when that happens.”⁣ ⁣ This September, I found myself in Alaska yet again, hunting caribou. Even though dad’s gone, I kept reaching for my InReach, instinctively ready to share stories I knew he’d love: the mountain valleys, the Volkswagen-sized brown bears, the 100-mph windstorm rumored to be blowing in off the Bering Sea, and this old caribou I killed high in the mountains, as high up as the sheep live.⁣ ⁣ I could almost hear him say, “Good deal. Bring all the meat home that you can. Be safe.”⁣ ⁣ Not being able to send those messages hit harder than I expected. But in so many ways, he was there—woven into the fabric of this trip, his voice guiding me through the process.⁣ ⁣ This hunt wasn’t just about caribou, it never really is. It was about carrying forward the connection my dad and I shared. And while the silence on the other end of the InReach was heavy, I know he’d be proud of the journey, just as I’ll always be proud of the memories we made together in these mountains.⁣ ⁣ #huntalaska⁣ #huntgram #alaskaphotography #alaskaadventure #mountainlife #wildgame
