Hoping for a new ladder stand

Precious time with my family.

Asked Santa for a Shrew Hawk. Im sure Santa knows Mr. La Clair personally  :archer:

An ACS/CX,64" 51# @ 30", Cocobolo riser, on its way right now. Should be here on Thursday. Keeping me fingers crossed

if you call steve catts santa them im getting a large hill custom back quiver.

i also treated myself to several things b/c my family is clueless about archery LOL.

We already had Christmas here yesterday, due to commitments for my adult children.

#1 son gave us a digital picture frame (hope to add a deer pic to it before I run out of season)

#2 son gave me Masters of the Barebow Vol. 2 (gotta love that kid!)

1 and only daughter gave me an umbrella type tree stand blind (hope that changes my luck!)

The wife and I kind of gave ourselves early presents: leather Lazyboys for the living room and new office furniture and TV for her home office. My Kanati arrived early so I gave myself an Eagle Flight quiver.

Best of all, I got to spend time with my family...especially my 2 year-old grand-daughter. My daughter is also due to add my second grandchild on July 25...exactly the same day as son #2 is getting married...and she is in the wedding...stand by to see how that works out!

For those of you who have to wait for tomorrow, hope you have a merry Christmas and that you are as blessed as I have been.

Well...my brother came out from New York for Christmas...I'm going to Solana Ranch this year as a result of helping the St. Judes kids...and my loving wife just gave me a flint knapping kit, instruction book, and a bunch of flint to knap. I warned her that now I'd have to start making my own arrows to put my newly knapped arrow points on. Should be fun.

Columbia monarch coat.. The rest are surprises... But I have to agree the best thing has been the time with my family.. Me and the Mrs work different shifts so it is nice spending all day together... God bless. KT

My wife gave me a couple of drytotes and a cart for my camoflaged hunting Kayak.  Nothing for Archery this year.

A Morrison Cheyenne that arrived Christmas Eve, and today, a brand new Pregnant Lady!!

I will leave those unfamiliar with my hunting camp to puzzle on that one. Suffice it to say, camp is a damp, cold and lonely place without her!

Killdeer  :wavey:

My wife ordered me a Rancho Safari Guillie short jacket on Dec 14th.  Got an email that the order was recieved but it still has not arrived.  Rancho Safari's 1-800 number does not seem to be working.  The TN hunting season runs to Jan 6th and I am dying to do some still hunting with it.

My wife is waaay too good to me, KOM Bomber Hat,(blowdown camo)
Signed copy of David Peterson's book Man Made of Elk and a new Morrison Shawnee that is on order (she had a little help with that last one). I got some other stuff but not archery related.
