Photo by @williamalbertallard | South Dakota, 2006. The picture of hunters seen in their blaze orange garments, shotguns held aloft, just beyond the pickup truck in the foreground with a pheasant rooster lying still alongside a bale of straw, was not published in the essay I did called "Hunters," published in the November, 2007 issue of National Geographic. Both the magazine designer and I wanted this to be the lead picture but it lost out to another image of mine featuring hunters in a vast central Montana field rehabbed by the conservation group @pheasants_forever. The beauty of the pheasant is apparent in even in death although the brilliance of its coloration I believe lessens in death. When I was assigned to do the photography for this essay I really thought it would be popular with readers. I feared the recoil by those who might find killing a deer, such a graceful and docile animal, very distasteful if displayed in the magazine. I could not have been more wrong. The story "Hunters" received more mail than any other story published that year and response by readers was six to one positive. I believe the reason was very much influenced by the information given in the article about how hunting is part of the overall effort of conservation and managing wildlife in our country; from license fees wildlife refuges are helped to benefit bird watchers and those who simply enjoy the many areas set aside for wildlife habitat.
#followme @williamalbertallard for more images of "Hunters" and other assignments spanning a five-decade career.
