You do. You need to have a photo hosting site to post photos on any website. It's really easy to do. Open a photobucket account and follow the directions. Hey, if I can do it, damn near anyone can! If you have any trouble, send me a PM and I'll walk you through it.

actually, i posted a pic of it on a 1911 site and didn't have to have a photo hosting site. i just clicked on add photo or something like that and it was posted w/the message. showed a little red X you can click on to see it. and yes, i am a lot better w/guns than computers! so there is a 100% chance i have no idea what i am talking about. but thats what happened on the other site. thanks

To post photos here, you need an account with a hosting site like photobucket. When you set up an account, there will be a button to click to upload photos. Once uploaded, under each photo there is a box (a couple actually) -- the bottom one being IMG code. Click in this box and it will copy the url. Then, paste it into your reply and your image will be there when you post it.

Yep, easy. Here is my last deer. She was walking at 78 yards. I took a little lead and hit her in the neck with my hard (22BHN) 330 gr cast .44 mag and she went down. I did not hit the spine either.
The entrance hole was large and damage was extensive all through.

Javelina were made to handgun hunt. Their sense of smell is keen but their eyesight is really poor (worse than mine as I age). A friend and I took a couple in Arizona's Southeast corner. We loaded them in the truck and took for home. Seeing a sign for Old Tombsone, we turned in and went to Boot Hill. Javelina came out onto the tailgate with us. Boothill sign above us and an appropriate place for the deceased members of the party.

been trying to go bust bambi for the last 2 weeks but gonna have to wait till jan. i guess. the 629 is not happy. wants a kill NOW. damn gun needs to learn a little patience. theres a true, hell of an untold story concerning this pig that made the local papers that i may be willing to part with soon as the heat dies down. as my sons said, " you're a one man f&^% wrecking crew".

True but I found it is like antlers! Boil it forever and you will not eat them. jumping
But I did shoot the plate 3 times off hand at 100 yards with my SBH. I still did not tenderize it!

#1...he died happy and thats all we 're gonna say on the subject.
#2....that ain't my belt. its a new chest rig holster made by johngleasonleather. i was changing out the length of it so had the ends undone to adjust em when the pig and i decided to begin this fiasco wherein as the bullet went thru him and bounced off a rock into the neighbors vacation house second story glass door, blew it up, and out through the wall never to be seen again and the story about how a rock from his lawn mower got throwed up into the glass door and blew it up made the local paper. but like i said, we ain't gonna talk about it and the pig died happy.

well, ur the only one. the neighbor thought it was funny as hell and told me to keep shooting em, just to please use a .22 next time. head shots. he coulda been an A hole about it and i wouldn't a blamed him but we keep an eye on his place and let him use out boat ramp etc etc so he was cool about it. sons said "dad, ur a one man f*&^ wrecking crew sometimes". my sister said "this is what dennis the menace is like at age 60". i need to retire and fade into the sunset i think.
