Go to http://photobucket.com/register.php and register, log in, hit the browse button, find the pic on your PC, select it and hit submit, the pic will be added to your album. Under the pic are 3 boxes, right click in the bottom box marked IMG, choose copy...then come here and create a post, below your text, right click and choose PASTE, the IMG Url will be pasted below the text, submit the post and your pic will show up embedded in your post. If the pic is too big for the page, go to the pic at Photobucket, and above the pic hit EDIT, choose the RESIZE 75% of original and RESIZE, come back here and refresh or check the pic, it will change size, if it's still too big, do 75% again until it is, if you reduce the pic too small, it can't be reversed, so go a little at a time.

Nice bird.

If ya really wanna view the pic copy and paste the link into a new browser window, and spell it graybeard not greybeard and you can see the pic.

I hope I can have that kind of luck opening day around here. Take care.

I am trying this pic a second time. Thanks for the info on how to post a pic quickdtoo. This Tom was hung up with two hens all mourning. He must have gobbled 50 times from 9:00 until 10:00. I kept imitating the hens until they came out to the edge of the small field I was hunting. A little wind stirred my decoy to life and both hens came to within 10 yds. of me to check out the decoy. The tom stayed out at about 80 yds. and strutted for about 30 minutes while the hens where right on top of me. finally he came to about 40yds. and my shot was on the mark. I haven't been this excited in years. Deer hunting just doesn't get me this tore up. The tom weighed 19lbs. had a 9 1/2" beard and 1 1/8" spurs.
