Our 2015..was another great yr

[1 shot 1 kill]

Well 2015 is done for us...with the freezers full we are not going to chase after the WTs this yr.
We had a group bull draw and 1 single bull draw..all in our local area for the first time in 25yrs of applying, I have seen a big bull for 2 yrs now in a hike in only spot so right away day 2 my wife and I head in there and as we walk I am giving out a few locator cow calls..low and behold after 35minutes we get a response, the wife and I split to the sides of the small draw we had above a small bog I knew he was coming out from.
I called softly a few more times and we could here him grunting his way to us, he held up in the hemlocks right in front of us at 40yards, I had 2 clean shots but promised the wife it was going to be her chance at her first bull.
Well after 5min he finally stepped out straight on and walked to 15yards from her, she did an amazing job holding steady not moving or breathing heavy and then he turns just enough for her to drive a 165 sierra game king thru the big guys heart, he went about 10yards my way and fell dead at 12 yards from my feet.
The big boy was 48inches from edge of palm to edge of palm and 51inches to widest points!! An amazing specimen for her first bull I must say!

2 weeks later out again another member of our hunting party dropped a nice 36inch bull as well as a sweet 4x4 mulie in the 165 class..

Then the last couple days of the draw I managed to hike my way into a nice young 3yr old bull that had his twin brother with him...he stood around for an hr while I 1/4'd his twin out...
Then the wife and I dropped a pr of 4x3 point mulies for pepperoni and sasauge.

With all that meat in the freezers for our family of 5 we figured this yr the WT's are safe, and we would go after then next year..lol...along with a shot at some elk which we havent shot since 2010

I will post the pics when I can figure it out as I always have a heck of a time getting them on here!!!
I know I know..no pics no proof..lol

With the price of meat right now, you'd be smart to have a Armed Guard watching your freezers!!! Congrats to you and your Wife, and your hunting buddys, can't wait to see the pic's!

Yah I've tryed uploading my kills this year a wolf and moose but I'm not able to load them because the image is too large, so I resized pictures small as I can get them to absolute terrible quality and stilll the file is to large to upload so I've given up, tried photobucket and couldn't get it to work, literally spent hours trying to post pics, it should be way easier. I bet more guys would post pictures if HBC made it user friendly.

[M.Dean]

OK, I'm not very good at this either, but I'll try to explain how I did it. You have your hunting pic's on your computer, in "My Documents" or "My Picture Folder" etc. I get the pic I want to put on HBC and write the pic # down, "My 2015 Buck, 1004, etc" or what ever you called it, Now open Photobucket, on the home page click the blue "Up Load" box, now click the blue "Choose Photo's and Video's" box, now click where it says "File upload", now everything in your computer shows up on the screen, it will say" Look in"- My Documents" or "My Photo's" and what you want to do now is browse and find your pic you want on HBC. Click your pic and PB will up load it so you can see it on the home page, Now, right click on the photo, scroll down to "Copy Image", and now go back to HBC and choose where you want to show off your pic, like Mainland B.C., Open Chat, etc. and to find that section go to "New Posts", which I can only find once I click on anyone of the threads on the home page as soon as I go on HBC. Now you'll see the "New Posts" in the top left of that page. Once you click NP's, go to the left side and you'll see the different sections, put your cursor on the one you want to start a thread to show us your 186 Mule Deer buck pic's, click "Mainland B.C., or what ever, now on the top left it should say, "New Thread"! Click it, now you should be able to put your cursor inside the box, right click, and click "Paste"!!! And now we can see your Buck!!! I'm not sure if this is the proper way to get a pic on here, but it's working for me, so far. Good Luck.

I have yet to post an image on here, but normally I would just paste in a direct link from Photobucket:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa402/BigD_83GS650/Random%20shots%20for%20GSResources/Screen%20Shot%202015-08-27%20at%2010.05.06%20AM.png (http://s1196.photobucket.com/user/BigD_83GS650/media/Random%20shots%20for%20GSResources/Screen%20Shot%202015-08-27%20at%2010.05.06%20AM.png.html)

The above random image from one of my other pursuits is just a pasted in URL link to the image in my PB account. I have PB setup to resize my images to the maximum allowed. Like all VBulletin forums, though, the maximum size may be different, and the number of allowable images will vary.

I know that if you do not use a web-based image host, things become more difficult to post.



Sounds like it's been a great season for the OP.

If anyone is interested maybe i can send a few pics to an email and someone can post a couple for me..then i will take the time to follow Mr. Deans very informative directions and hopefully get this figured out!

Looks like you've almost got it figured out. Click on the IMG code, copy and paste that link into your thread and the pic will appear like this:
