Well, since tomorrow is a FULL day of travelling around to all the family's places that starts way too early, Santa always makes it to our house on Christmas Eve morning so we can have a day just for us.
I got a couple GREAT presents from the wife and kids; some 200g Woodsmen Elites and the new 4 DVD set of all of Fred Bear's old movies!
The kids and I just got done watching "Kodiak Country". It brought back tons of old memories of heading up to the museum on a rainy summer day from my grandparents place and watching the films in the theater there. Walking around looking at all the mounts and artifacts; bumping in to Mr. Bear. It is fascinating watching them as an adult and watching your kids be amazed by them as well.
What did you all receive?
a lump of coal- I've been a bad boy this year.
I've got a new longbow coming from trad gang member jamed. Probably won't make it here by Christmas, but worth the wait. Oh well, I can still look at the pictures of it till it arrives! Sure is pretty!
I got a '58 Bear Polar on a trade with PapaFrank and he turned out to be "Santa Frank". Got some 4" turkey banana fletchs, a BH, and a new arm guard in the package.
Thanks Frank!!
I got the Acadian 3 piece "Carbon Reflex" that was feautered on the PowWow build along. If you hav'nt see the pics already of the finished bow...go take a look. Tim out did himself!
I am with Ray Hammond on this,the only present I have are self made.
Got a digital camcorder from my wonderful wife and ordered a custom Tall Tines from myself.
I bought myself a JV Outback Longbow. And my parents paid for my first hunt. My Christmas was early. :bigsmyl:
Rumor has it our Congress is shopping for a *really* expensive present for all of us! I can't wait - hope it's a sweet custom bow or some nice wool or something. Ooooo - I'm tingling!
The old Bear DVDs rock - maybe they will get us that.
Christmas has not come yet, but I am getting a dozen wooden arrows, 6 Simmons Tiger Sharks, and a few 3 rivers gc. But don't ask me how I know. :biglaugh:
I received in the mail this morning a wonderful gift from Stacy Sheppard aka ny state land. It was 5 arrows 50-55 spine to shoot out of my HH Big 5.
Thank you Stacy!!!
I know I am blessed to have such friends.
Merry Christmas to all.
God bless,Mudd
Hmmmmmmm..... I Think I Got The Lump Of "Cow Coal" in My Stocking. Bad Me, Baaaad Me.
Bows on the Little delta, can you believe I haven't read that book yet! I'm giddy!
Merry Christmas folks!
My wife said I'm not getting anything for Christmas because I buy my own presents throughout the year. That's OK a little hunting equipment om clearance sale is the best present I can think of!
I am waiting for a Rodney Wright Stalker recurve--55@28 or 48-49@26 my draw--Cocobolo riser with osage limbs.Present to myself--after I sold my duck hunting rigs.
Got "Bowhunting Reflections" for Christmas. Thank you Dear!!!!
Hey Elf......I think you'll really be happy with that Stalker. I have one and it ain't the fastest, or best bow I have, but it's the most fun to shoot. Forget all the bad things you hear about short bows and get ready for some fun. Merry X-Mas.....
I drive the wife crazy at christmas. It seems like everytime I want something and she decides to get it for me, I have already got one on order. I know I'm getting some base layers of some sort because she flat told me "NO" when I was looking at them last week :D ....Roy
Wow, two guys got my favorite bows; JVOutback and TallTines...LUCKY DOGS!!!
We are going to watch some of Fred Bear's Safaris tonight.
New limbs for my Zipper SXT will be shipped soon. Close enough to count? I've saved up some coin and will be shopping at K-Zoo if the Doctors don't mess up January for me.
