RE: Team 3 Thread
I'm getting some things together right now for my hunt this weekend. I'll be leaving for Texas Friday morning. Sorry to rub it in guys, but your turn is coming. Hang in there, it will be here before you know it.I can't wait to hunt myLouisiana birds next weekend (28th). Hopefully I'll be telling you a story next week about my Rio's.A story with a happy ending that is.

RE: Team 3 Thread
Guys, I connected on two Rio's this past weekend. The first one weighed 19.2 pounds, 1 inch spurs, and a 9 inch beard. The 2nd weighed 17.9 pounds, 3/4 inch spurs, and a 9 inch beard. I'm having trouble posting pics here. I have tried everything. Can I email pics to someone here and have you post them for me? If someone could send me their email address, we could try it that way. What do I need to do if my file is too large? I thought I downsized the picture, but it still said too large. Anyway, my Louisiana season opens this weekend, but the birds are not gobbling anywhere near my property. I know there are birds in the area though. Good luck guys.

Damn nice job superstrutter! I had a feeling you would not let us down. Great job getting us on the board and being the first of us to score! If you can get me the scores from your bird I will post them in the Score thread.
Also, for your own future reference, if a file says it is too large to be posted you need to resize your photo. The easiest way is to COPY the picture (you dont want to edit the only photo you have, so be sure to duplicate it) then paste the picture somewhere you can get to it. (your desktop would be easiest) Now open that file and along the top of the page in one of the options it should say resize. Just use this function to size it down to something that will fit on the HNI board. Make sure you save it afterwards. Hope this helps.

It's really not hard to post pics and you don't even have to resize them if you follow these directions. A photobucket account is free and it only takes a few minutes to sign up. The guy who built this tutorial did an awsome job.

Both are Rio Grandes. I'll get the pictures up. Mossberghunter will put them up if I can't get them up.
