Ah, make an account on photobucket.com and upload them there from your computer.  Doesn't take very long and you'll be set from here on out.  Make sure the pictures aren't too big. I think..600x400 or something like that.

Earl Jeff,

Congrats, nice looking bear. And welcome to the mentally impaired. We must be for we do everything wrong. At least to those who don't understand why we hunt the hard way. My first trad kill was one of the most gratifying hunting memories I can remember. Only second to the first deer kill of my son Zach.  :thumbsup:
