6x6rack,

I know we've had our disagreements in the past, but.................will you please follow me around all hunting season and write my hunting stories for me :chuckle:

This is such a heartwarming story and the way it is being told is on par with some of the best outdoor writers.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

OK....Group Hug Everyone...OK...Good! Now where are the pics  :)

Thanks for this thread, I am still lucky but I'm probably in my last few years of being able to hunt with my dad. I got him switched over to archery but now I need to get him an elk before he can't make it out any more. This last year was the first year we had three generations out hunting as my son was able to go also. Gotta tell ya...it was special!!!

Looking forward to next year!

Take your kids hunting so we can keep having stories like this one, it's what makes this country great!

Pictures are killing me...it wont let me add them! I think the files are too big. I will try to reduce them and re-post.

No excuses 6x6.  You may have posted a good story but without pictures we'll turn on you in a heart beat on this forum.  Pictures, Pictures, Pictures, Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!!!!!

It's okay 6x6 I was just giving you a hard time.  I'm sure you'll figure it out.  How are you trying to load them.  This is what I do.  Go to www.tinypic.com up load the picture to that sight and then where it says forum cut that link out and paste it to a post and it'll work out.  It resizes it and everything for you automatically.

Okay, need some help here. I got the pictures but am on my cell phone and can't resize them. They are big files, 4.3K. I can forward the email to someone???   Any volunteers to resize them and then post?
