Welcome aboard...

Thanks for the warm welcome. Looks like I do need a little help posting my picture. If you guy's can help me with that I will get them posted along with the details on my hunt.

One option is to go here:
photobucket.com/

Open an account. Then upload your pictures to photobucket (please note that there are other places to load your pictures to. This is just one option you might use. Just so long as the photos are available online.). Once uploaded, grab the "Direct Link" listing for the photo (move the mouse over the photo and you will see 4 links drop down) and place in your email - by clicking on the "insert image" button above and placing the path between the two markers that will be inserted in to your posting:

img]photo/path/goes/here.pic[/img

That should get your pictures posted here - you might want to size your pictures first, before uploading them to the web. A great utility for that can be had at www.irfanview.com/

Hope that helps!

I think this has it. OK, back to the hunt. I had hung a hang on stand over a good looking trail back in Mid-October. I had the first 2 weeks of November off to hunt. The first day I hunted out of the stand was November 6th. At 11:20 that morning this buck came down the edge of the field and entered the woods about 20 yds short of the trail. He was working his way to the stand and after about 10 minutes I had a shot at 18 yds. I guess I was so focused on the deer I didn't see some small branches between me and the deer, when I shot the arrow deflected and went god knows where. The buck spooked but not knowing what happened, just turned and walked back the way he came and out of sight. There are not a lot of deer on this property so you don't get many shots. So nothing else the rest of that day. On Saturday my nephew came to hunt with me. He killed a nice doe at 7:15 that morning. I spent the rest of the day back in the stand. I did see a couple of Small bucks Saturday afternoon but no shot opportunities. Sunday morning I went to the stand my nephew had killed the doe out of the day before. At 11:20 the buck came in behind me. I don't hear very well and the buck was 30 yards past by the time I got my grunt call out he was 50 yds. past. I gave 3 blows on the call, he turned and walked right to me. I shot him at 15 yds. It mush have been his time, and mine. I was lucky to get 2 shots at this deer.

Nice deer, nice pic!

[mobowhunter]

Thanks guy's. I had a game camera out from Mid-September thru Mid-November. I never got a picture of this buck. There were a couple of 6pt. that we had several pictures of and a 10 pt. I had pictures of on 3 diffrent days. We never saw the 10 pt. during any of bow season or gun season. I hope he made it, he was about a 130" deer this year. The other thing I love about this site is the testing done on broadheads. It just so happens I shoot Slick Trick heads and have for 3 years. I was pleased to see that they tested very well. I shoot a McPherson Desiel Bow, set at 65#. I have taken 4 whitetail and 3 hogs with the set up. I don't know a lot about tuning a bow, but we have a really good bow shop in Branson that helps with that. I was by there today and had a new buss cable put on. This is a great site and from what I can tell a great bunch of guy's.
