Title: White Elephant update page?
Post by: BEN on March 19, 2010, 09:54:00 PM
I thought maybe posting this thread for updates on the White Elphant----Packages sent, received, pics, etc......

That way anyone who is still signing up doesn't have to sort through these when looking for whomever is after him.........

Mods can delete this thread if not necessary.

Question?

Where should I post about the package I received?

I'm chomping at the bit to share what came in the mail this morning from David Camp aka Shinken.

It felt a lot like Christmas morning at our house today but back when I was a kid.

Thanks in advance!

Why not just add to this thread......... use for all updates?
Title: Re: White Elephant update page?
Post by: Mudd on March 20, 2010, 03:39:00 PM
OK! Thanks I will!

David Camp aka Shinken  was very generous! Thank you David!

Here's the list: These aren't in any particular order

A (2 books- Witchery of Archery & The Traditional way by Fred Anderson
B (The latest edition of TBM

C (one set of chop sticks- that if I were still building bows would be used to make wooden pins to go in a fishtail splice.

D (I set of really cool rattling horns- i think I'll just hang them up since they have character

E ( a belt and nice plaid wool shirt, they both will need another new owner, I'm bigger than they are..lol

F ( a call, not sure if its crow, duck, or deer since I can make all 3 sounds with it..lol

G (A shooting glove and a NIP Elite finger tab

H ( a baggie of string silencer material. could be badger but that's just a quess

I ( Seal skin arrow rest material

J (Skookum Solo Stalker- single arrow attachable quiver NIP

K (3 Judo or judo look alike points

L ( a baggie with a whole bunch of 125 grain screw in field tips

I made out like a bandit!!

The most amazing part is that David too the time to individually wrap each item that could be wrapped.

How very cool is this? WAY!!!!!!!!

Thank you David from the bottom of my heart!!

God bless,Mudd

PS I sure hope I didn't miss anything but I'm pretty sure I didn't.

Unless he intended to put in an invite to Washington for an elk hunt...lol(J/K) I don't want everyone knowing how greedy I can be...lol

Can not thank Charles Suttles enough.  I have not enough words.  The venison meat sticks are awesome.  Having trouble keeping my boy out of them:)  He is also trying to take off with the turtle multi tool!
The best part, pink arrows for my little girl.  She has never showed much interest in archery till today.  Asked me to put her new arm gaurd and quiver on.  We spent the afternoon shooting together.  Pink arrows, who knew?  Thanks again Charles!

KumaSan, This worked out great for me.  The package said right in label, "I hope you are a big guy."  Well, I am not, but don't think I am being sarcastic when I say it worked out great.  My Dad, who just started trad when I bought him a bow for Christmas, is a big guy.I called him to tell him I had some hunting clothes for him and he was extatic.
KumaSan sent a sweet jacket, feels rainproof, and a pair of insulated bib overalls.  They are both realtree, and in great condition.  I really appriciate being able to send them to my Dad, after all, several years ago he kinda' raised me and all.

This is awsome!!  :thumbsup:

(http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t115/toddsmith5298/white_elephant_2010.jpg)


There's a back quiver kit complete with lace, a bunch of leather, some HTM blunts, broadheads, a serving jig (which really made my smile because I sent on in my box), a cool folding utility knife with a hooked blade which should be great as a gut-hook, a neat gizmo that you hook somewhere then hang stuff from it, a rattle bag, inserts, screws, allen wrenches, a sight, cat whiskers, side plate and arrow rest, camo tape, a film canister full of milkweed fluff/seeds complete with Velcro to attach it wherever I want to, some 5/16 nocks, a hex blunt, a bow case and take-down limb bolts.  Thanks ishiwannabe!!!!  I appreciate it!!!!  todd

Got mine form Matt "AKA Raging Waters"

Beautiful "Antler Tine" handled knife with a beautifully knapped [ not experienced with stone so can't tell you what kind ] med/large arrow head tied on very nicely, as the cutting edge.

Also in the package was a very nice "lock back" folding knife with I think possibly "Micarta camo scales"...

Thanks a lot, Matt    :notworthy:      :jumper:

A huge thanks to Steve Snowden ("ses")!  The stuff you sent was awesome and the shirt's gonna fit, too  :) .  I already started watching the DVD-was just thinking this week how I wished I had a trad bow hunting DVD...  Oh, and the wife wants to banish the deer hooves, but don't worry-no way she's prying those from my death like grip  :archer:   My 4 year old is loving the sterno stove (house hasn't burned down yet...) and the book with all the bows in it.  It made me smile REALLY big when he asked if he could have one like in the book.  Thanks again

OK long story short here.  I was working out of town this weekend, my wife called me Saturday and asked "who do I know in North Pole, Alaska"?  I immediately knew what it was and had her rip it open.  Got home late last night and laid hands on my prize.

Thank you Jason (plentycoupe)

Got a sweet neck knife, a package of nocks and ferrule tight, 3 woodsmans, 3 two blade broadheads that I'm unsure of but intrigued with, a shooting glove, coyote howler, beautiful box call and a signed copy of Glen St Charles' Legends of the Longbow!

I will read the book and pass it on with next years elephant and tho I can't make any promises- whoever I draw next year could probably expect a quantity of home made arrows with a portion of my loot from this year (notice I didn't say all).  

Thanks again Jason, if you ever make it to Oklahoma- look me up and we'll put those calls to use.

Well, got to the post office on Sat to find a yellow card.  Alright a package, but alas, window was closed. Had to wait until today. So I get the package and feel its weight. What did pow-bow put in this box? A knife, broadheads, salmon?

Well much to my surprise and pleasure I find a couple of mink and marten pelts and Fred Anderson's book The Traditional Way.  Thanks Rich. Have enough silencer material for several years and a great book to pass the cold winter nights or sitting in the bear stand this spring.

I rec'd my package of goodies from Butts last week. I got an early Stickshooter knife w/sheath, camo vest, and 2 old Howard Hill dvd's and a secret that I'll use next year.
I now have 2 of Franks knives and they sharpen up and really hold an edge.
I'm a bit of an old coot and will admit that these are the first traditional hunting dvd's I've ever owned. I absolutely love'em but am going to blame Butts for starting me on another addiction.

Forgot to mention, Todd, your package left Monday morning..
Sorry, after reading all of these posts, you got burned.
I'm a newbie to the white elephant and apologize for my inexperience. If you follow me next year I'll try to make it up.
Those are 1/8" and about 80gr. I was running late and left the remainder to you.
My sincere apologies, Fred

Hey Alex,
I've not seen the point but I'm going to use my psychic abilities and make a stab at identifying it.

Native Americans were known to use the scales off of a particular fish as a broadhead. The species was or is called the alligatorgar.

God bless,Mudd

PS: If I am correct, it was your handle that gave it away...lol

How very cool Shawn! A painted Bear skull. I bet your kids in your youth group will be impressed unless they're like our teenagers. I don't think we have very many young hunters in our kids at church.

I hear ya, Mudd... not as many parents are getting their kids and teens out these days.  Sometimes it's because of the absence of dad, but mostly because it's just something that they don't have time for.... trust me, though... I take as many teenagers as will go, to shoots and out hunting, even if it's just for them to tag along. =)  I hope the bear skull will peak their interest some... the skull is sitting on a table with 2 other deer skulls... =) It's a part of me, so I don't mind people knowing that.  Some of those feathers I received from Ryan are gonna be used to show one teen how to fletch up some arrows and repair some old ones... shoot! I got one of them lined up to build a bow with me this summer!!! =)  Did I mention that I love my job?  Love the white elephant too!

This site has to have the kindest most generous people I've met! And Bob...if you don't mind, we'll line it up next year so you can send to me again alright?? JJ....Ryan

My white elephant made it to the house today. Thanks Joe, ( Bowhuntingfool). I build self bows and the tillering string sent will work nicely.  The two strings sent will work for the R\\D bamboo hickory bow I'm working on. Always can use a new armguard. The Damascus glove fits my son perfectly.  I've never seen the wind indicators you sent but they will be of use. Always can use some extra hot hands.  A useful piece of leather and a Bear Arhery sticker. The OJIBWA BOWHUNTERS shirt is awesome!  If it is your club in Wisconsin, you should sell a few for the club.  
Thanks Al

Zog...the white elephant is a gift exchange that is initiated by Smalson every year about this time to help pass the cabin fever we all suffer from.  Run a search and you will find out exactly what it is about.

Two hunting knives (one with an upgraded elk handle and a huge amount of mojo). Some small game heads and blunts. A bag of assorted nocks, a bow stringer and a hunting video "Traditional Harvests 1&2" by Fred Eichler.  I can and will use all of it. Thanks Lance.
