What is the Max file size for this site?

Not sure if it's only on my end but many of the photos posted in various threads are gone.  :help2:

I thought I had made a Big-Boy decision and bought Alaskan game bags. I thought they were decent bags but I guess my memory was askew...and I hated them. I am upgrading to something that will protect the meat, is strong, is washable, etc. The obvious choices are Caribou and Kuiu. Let me know if...

Sorry to repeat this but it's valuable to me to get as much perspective as possible. Input appreciated (don't feel obligated if you replied on the other forum...) I apologize if this is a repeat but I would like to learn from the experts. The simple facts: truck was at trail head, camp was 2...

I got an elk on 9/2 at 5:20 PM. We walked 15+ miles packing that thing out, all night long until 6:30 AM the next morning. Beaten down, battered, exhausted, starving, dehydrated, blistered and more sore than I'd ever been, we rolled into where we parked the truck and slept for 3 hours. After the...

When you are hunting and in a setup, do you leave your quiver on your bow or do you take it off? How about your pack? I never take my quiver off while hunting and practice with it 100% of the time. I shoot regularly with my pack on so I am used to how how it feels. I make sure I don't have...

Do you paint your face? Why or why not?

My buddy sent me a photo of these. He bought some for four of us in elk camp this year as a gift to the group. http://www.bend-able.com/reed-quiver/ No affiliation,  just passing on an interesting gadget. Can't wait to try them out. Has anyone used one?

I\'m taking my son up to do some recon and want to have some ground blinds in place for opening weekend. I\'m mainly looking at this for deer but since this is the most read and posted forum I\'m putting it here as I may be able to incorporate this for my elk unit as well next weekend. Any...

I really enjoyed this place as my first stop but the lack of topics is really bad now and makes it one of the last places I like to stop, which sucks because I\'ve received a LOT of good input from you all in the past. What are the other places you hang out online for hunting? I like Bowsite...

As I was getting into hunting a few years ago I had to stay within my budget as I was outfitting myself and my son at the same time. Needless to say, it added up quickly! I was always on the lookout for used items that would work. One of those items was a rangefinder sent to me by member here on...

Sorry for all the dumb questions but this pack in trip in September will be new to me. I have several coolers I was going to bring while hunting in the back country this fall. I don\'t have a topper for my truck nor do I plan on getting one. Is it necessary to lock them up at the trail head...

My son and I both drew deer tags this year and if you\'ve followed any of my past I have only ever shot one big game animal, a doe, and it was a few years ago. I got very lucky that she stood up from her bed at 21 yards, perfectly broadside, and didn\'t move. Boom, dead doe. But, I am here to...

Took a gamble and went camping this weekend. Wanted to be home for the 4th for a neighborhood celebration otherwise could have stayed the week. We didn\'t make any reservations but my wife and daughter prefer to be near a vault toilet if possible. With the truck packed we headed off! To find a...

I use a Tru Ball Stinger that I bought used. I\'m thinking of upgrading to something more comfortable, with more padding in the wrist strap. This one has pretty thin pleather for the wrist strap and is pretty uncomfortable. I\'d like to try out the Tru-Fire Panic X as the wrist strap looks well...
