Thanks to all who have taken the time to share the stories and pics!
Thank you for bringing me along when I couldn't go.
Anyone who is hesitant to put something together, thinking that no one would want to hear what you have to say, I'm telling you that I will always want to check those threads out.
And, if you do put one together, it's a great way to share your story with your spouse and kids. My wife would never listen to a blow by blow account of a hunt, but she loved reading mine to the kids and it gives them more insight into why you want to do what you do.
I was even told, "You need to hunt more."
Score!!! "You don't have to say that twice, honey!"
You should have got that in writing! lol
And Orion, yours was top of the heap. Good to know that your real intention was not to entertain the BS fraternity, but to elucidate your strange passion to the family...
I believe the best of the year is just starting now. Legoman always has awesome adventures!
I re-read those a few times and probably will many more times.
and yes, It get in your blood, deeply.
EX- How do you post multiple pictures in a post? How does BB get the high quality pics on Bowsite? (I realize he is good and has a good camera, but there could be something else?)
Writing- I have not submitted any epic stories. But what I do when I want to post a long story is type it up in MS Word first. That way I can do it at my leisure and use the inherent spell check. Also gives me time to review and change stuff if the story doesn't "flow". When I am ready to submit to BS, I copy and past text from Word.
Any other tips?
To get multiple pics and the larger pics, you save your pictures in Photobucket or similar then paste the url in your post. Problem with this is if your pics in the host are moved or something changes, the pics are gone from the thread. The other problem is when I open threads on my phone with these pics they are virtually unreadable.
Very cool stuff

You can string as many pic codes in a single post as you want.
You could even have the HTML codes in a Word Doc with your text...and just copy paste whatever you want with each posting.
Just upload your pics to Photobucket, and go from there!
Best of Luck, Jeff
But I became uncharacteristically self conscious about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through. If I wasn't just doing it, I might've bailed on the idea.
And then I would've missed out on the opportunity to find out that the wife and kids really enjoyed it.
