My daughter shot a 400lbs bear but I'm not having any luck getting these damn photos to upload! Got great video of a big grizzly coming in when we were in the stand at 12 yards!

Try Windows XP Power Toys resizer. If you search "picture resizer" you should be able to find one that will work with the browser you use (compliments of Curtis C - for the info). The site is limited to photos under 2 MB. You might also be able to email them to yourself and reduce the size depending on which email program you use. Hotmail with silverlight will do it. Instead of attaching the file, select the attach photo option and some email programs will let you resize the photo. Looking forward to seeing the pics!

Heres my buddies first bear we got over memorial day weekend in MT. First bear kill either of us had been on and we were ecstatic! It was a life long goal of his to get one and I was glad to help.

Thanks for Sharing Jon Boy - nice bear! You guys are in the club now - bear hunting is such a great way to spend time in the woods during the springtime! Careful though, it can be addictive!!

No luck for me in ID....passed a few small bears for the future...I guess I was pickier than I thought I would be.

Here's my bear from this year. First bear ever! Taken in Idaho along the Lochsa River over bait. Shot was at 13 yards.

Love the color! Where do you live down there?

Thanks Ryan! I actually live in New Orleans, but have hunted elk and bear in that area of Idaho a few times. It's gorgeous country and I try and do at least one hunt (bear or elk) there every year. This was taken not far from the Lochsa Lodge if you've ever been in the area.

Grace's first bear and the 12 yard encounter we had with some serious competition!

First night in the tree stand and this thing shows up! I didn't think i was going to get my daughter shut down in time...she had the bear in her sights and i kept trying to get her attention not to shoot but the bear was only 12 yards away. I kept filming and she looked up at me and said "Grizzly huh" and i kept filming! I have some great footage of that bear! That was a scary walk out that night with a 12 year old and a muzzle loader! We kept coming back because of the picture of her bear she shot alive, what a stud! Great father daughter experience!
