Alex, I'm guessing you took them with your phone. Before posting on this site,
open the photo you want to post and then crop it just enough to see the size change. Then load it into a post. That's all it takes. For some reason photos get wonky (that's a tech term) when going from a phone to the forum if not cropped or edited.

FWIW , from top to bottom . 1 small buck shot at 15-20 with handloaded 000000 buck from an PH 8 I used to own . 2 a spike shot at 12 yards with a .795” masking tape wrapped ball from a DH 8 . 3 a spike shot at about 20 yards with a .775” 730 grain hollow base slug also masking tape wrapped from the DH 8 . And finally #4 is a small buck shot at exactly 20 yards with the DH 8 shooting a circa 1930 Remington factory 8 gauge load of 0 buck again from the DH 8 . All four deer were on the ground within twenty yards of where they were shot the only one that hit the ground at the boom of the gun was the spike shot with the roundball , hit him behind the shoulder spun him around and dumped him right there . And that pretty much ends my “war” shall we say with deer using the 8 gauge .

The results speak Lima Charlie!! I see a slug and buck article in the near future.

FWIW, there can be multiple contributors to that article. Alex, Art and Craig can all submit data and photos and the "ghost writer" can put all your notes together and VIOLA!! A nice article on a different type of hunting with a Parker.

That's probably what happened! I usually upload to Imgur and then use a link. I decided to try a more direct way. I'll crop them next time and see if that helps
