Boxie, To post a picture, open the picture on photobucket. Copy the address (http://www....) In a new reply (not the quick reply), you will see a row of buttons that reads 'Add tags'. Second row, 4th icon is 'insert image'. This will place the image tags [/img] in the text. place your curser in between the 2 tags and paste your address. Hope that helps.

Mr. Longbeard, Yeah it is getting nuts up here but I like it. I live in a housing developement and hunt right out the back door. We border an old farm and it's a great natural funnel. Take a look in the Outdoor Photo Gallery forum at the posts Backyard Bucks 04-06. These are all bucks I filmed out my office window (while working.)
There are some great bucks up here. The one from 06 that is bedded down is laying not 40 yards from my house. I chased that buck all of archery season and he was there in the late archery, a few days after Christmas bedded down. Looked exhausted from the rut. Couldn't bring myself to go out and try to stalk him. Figured he won the battle and was just letting me know he was still around for next year.

great looking deer . it's nice to hear from someone who understand what hunting is all about. to many people just in it to kill something. with luck he will be around next year for the chase. they call it hunting not killing. good luck with the big one next season let us know if you get him

Long ago, my Grandfather taught me, not thru words but actions. I remember after all day of hiking the mountains of Tidioute, my Dad and I would walk back across the field and there was my Grandfather, still standing in the same spot he had been since we dropped him off in the morning. Always smiling, always happy just to be out there. In all those years, I only remember him getting a few doe and one buck, yet he was satisfied. And his first question was never did you get one or any luck, but 'Did you see that sunrise this morning?'
It wasn't until I got older and had a family of my own that it all started to make sense. This was just time away from everything else. I'm like that now. Archery season is just therapy for me. No cell phone or blackberry messages, not one emailing or asking me to do anything. After each trip afield, he was the first phone call I made or as I videoed those bucks in my backyard, I'd pick up the phone and tell him what I was seeing.
In August, he passed away just days short of his 88th birthday. I spent a lot of fall mornings watching the sunrise only to climb out of my stand shortly after, satisfied with my morning hunt.

i come from a long line of outdoorsman also. grandpa use to hunt snappers bare handed in the stream banks. my father a retired police officer was a great hunter he always came home with the deer. it's a shame alot more people don't look at hunting this way.
