Photos are for home
Treat this as a gate. Photos are for home. The subject is a photo that does not block the work.
At the truck
At the truck, take it after the animal is tagged and the gun is unloaded. Say the plan out loud if someone is with you. A plan you cannot say is a plan you do not have.
The slip
Do not paper over a photo session that delays care. Fix it while the engine is still warm enough to leave.
Go only if care is done before the camera comes out. Local season dates and the landowner's permission outrank a good forecast.
Nothing in this note asks you to rush a shot or to guess at a boundary. The "After the day" note is finished when the answer is yes or no.
A field note, not legal advice. Check the season, the species rules, and whether you have permission to be on the land.
