I voted "save for a year". I put all of mine on an external Hard drive, along with my other pictures. I have it organized by location and then name each set of pictures by the date range of pictures taken. I also have a file of "good ones" I have probably around 2k pics saved.

over time memories fade and pictures do not.I'll keep my pictures and let my kids see how I grew up and what I enjoyed in life.If I should pass on now early,atleast they can have a little piece of me and understand my passion for the outdoors.In this way they have something tangible to grasp and not a fading memory of "my dad used to hunt".

What they do with the pictures and mounts is up to them.Daniel

I saved most of them. I use to only use 35mm cams so I had hard copies of all the photos, good and bad. I then had to scan to them, and save them to post them on the websites so I had copies on my computer also. I put the hard copies in a small photo album to show other people, and had ones on the coputer got posted... everywhere. Then I got digi cams and did the same thing just backwards. Posted them everywhere, and then printed them out for the album. I've got way too many photos. Heck 1K of them are from one javilina cave. :blink:

get a big external harddrive. They are not all that expensive and save hundreds of GB of data.

 

Of course, you might want to have a backup drive also. One of my externals crashed with a lot of my video projects on it, including many of the Coues Celeb videos! ouch!

+1 I had a 320 gig one (about $150) with all of my work data on it. It crashed last week and has left me high and dry trying to find copies. :(

Sounds like that external hard drive might be the ticket!!! Might have to check in to that.... What do you do when it is full??? And how long would it take to get one all fulled up???

Costco has a 500GB external for 99.99 on their website right now -- that's 500 times bigger than my SD cards. They take forever to fill up, especially with a 3-6 mega pixel camera.

My 5mp trail cam gets a over 1000 pics per gig. So on a 500gb HD thats a half million pics. Fry's electronics usually has pretty good deals, just gotta watch the ads
