The "problem" with this site it will only upload very small file sizes and storage is very limited so basically you have a few postage size stamps worth of picture space. So save yourself the aggravation and use a third party site. Mine is Flicker. Once you get the hang of it you can upload billboard size pictures to your hearts content.

Today was my opening day. The early morning was real quiet but around 8 I heard a strong gobble. Perfect I said to my self, game on. Nothing like hearing the first gobble since last year. To make a long story short no gobblers showed but I had 3 big jakes doing a circle around me. I waited to see if that gobbler would come but he never did so I decided to take the biggest Jake. I sent a crossbow bolt and it did a complete pass through. The Jake was doing the flop so i sent one more bolt for good measure. As I got up to go get my bird the other two jakes flew off and the bird that I thought was dead got up and walked to the neighbours property. I had to wait until 11 not to bother the neighbours to early and went to ask permission to go search for it. Unfortunately I could not find the bird after hours of searching. I did find one bolt that was full of feathers and blood. This is the bad part about hunting and I know it happens but it’s still a hard pill to swallow. Sorry for the rant but I had to get this off my chest.

Definitely a hard pill to swallow tom gobble but it happens to all hunters at some point as hard as it is you learn to move on and try again

Sorry to hear the bad luck Tom gobble, it happens to a lot of us, even shot gunning is no guarantee, frustrating for sure..
