Great catch! that must have sucked to walk a mile lugging that on your back.
Pic 10 looks like a great horned owl. pretty cool photo
It took me a minute to figure out the face of the bear was upside down. The red teeth made it look like big foot.
great pics
Great pics, those are awesome. I can't imagine lugging a 100 pound catfish all that way in pic 1
the kid in number 6 has a nice fish and is ol'right by me cause he is wearing a missouri tigers hoddie.

Pic 10 is a great horned owl. Had one similar with a 2ft plus wingspan that trashed my chicken several years ago.
noodleing?
pic 36....115-120ish...
#37 and #39...both one in a million shots.
#46...my guess is the area around the camera smells like people. Try spraying it down with a scent killer and possible moving the camera 50ft or so in another direction. Then we can get a better look at him. But he does look like a good one. Good luck.
Wait, wait... pic 2... dogs and a knife?
I wouldn't get within 30 feet of that thing, but a knife?! There must be the sound of brass clanging together when that guy walks.
the final picture of the bear is huge. I saw pictures of it on the internet apparently the girl stalked up on it on a mountain side set up her bi-pod and shot.
pic. #50 now that is a large bear... not to po-po on her parade, but that child could not have made the shot needed with a rifle that is as large as she..I can not believe that anyone would take a little girl out in the wilds bear hunting, she is bite sized.. must be nuts but I do not think this kids life would be damaged by staying home until she can see over the end of her rifle. S--- Happens.
Pic #2 that's just awsome!
great pictures
I have to agree with hjohn429, pic #2 is awesome and on the + side, the guy killed it with a nife!
Back in the 70s I was shooting editor of Argosy and the state of Florida invited me down for a 'wild boar roundup'on a huge private plantation . I went out in the palmettos in a truck with two officers, a pit bull and a catahoola (sp?). When a boar was spotted, the dogs were released and they would fly at the boar,grab the closest piece of hide where they landed (usually an ear or foreleg) and the agents would 'hog-tie' the animal. When safely tied, they'd use a 'breaker stick', a slim piece of hard wood, to pry open the jaws of the dogs from the boar's hide! The boars were released later on public hunting areas. Amazing. So is the photo of that swamp hog.

We live with these animals here in AK sometimes right here in town. As for a little girl shooting a gun big enough for that bear, I beg to differ. Please take note of the muzzle break on that weapon. My daughter is 10 and while she has not yet taken a bear she has a couple of moose to her credit. She hunts with me and we share a rifle. A .378 weatherby which wears a muzzle break when she shoots. I am proud to say that she is proven deadly at 225 yards so far.She shoots prone over the bipod and I brace the butt because the stock is too long. A little unorthodox but it is effective.
Wow, those photos are great. Shouldering that catfish is almost more impressive than catching it in the first place. Well done.

Why would you keep a catfish like that.That fish is older than you probably.Would have been a lot more admirable to say you walked a mile empty handed.
nice pics. #18 not sure that is a sheephead, looks like a black drum. the head looks wrong to me.
looks to me like its alive ,its head is up ,looks like a hawk
crankin craig, sorry but i think that is a drum not a sheepshead.
thats a nice catfish
women can't fish or hunt so why should they be in a picture with someone elses' bear
