My trad gift wish is a custom back quiver for my 31" long arrows.

I may have to be patient & eventually make on myself though.

Not strictly Trad, but that's how I'd use em if I get em.

I need a replacement for the Petzl headlamp that I broke this fall.  One of the handset items I owned.  

What I'd love to have is a smoker.  Not sure if I've been good enough to have Santa bring one of those though.

I am hoping to get my health back to the point that I can hunt and do other outdoor activities like I use to be able to do.  Seems as though all other material things right now are immaterial if that makes sense.

KME sharpener and a 12" bastard file.

I put a PCHX on my list also, but when I did that, the Mrs. added a Mercedes to her list.    :eek:

Post by: emt137 on December 08, 2011, 02:14:00 PM
I've fared really well, so no complaints here what so ever.  My wife spoiled me rotten this year and I tried to return the favor.  

Bama Bows Hunter longbow (45# @ 28")
doz. woodies made by Mangus
Rinehart 3D buck target
camo winter coat
camo winter trousers
insulated rubber boots

And I got her a Maddog midsize longbow, half doz woodies by Mangus, tab and arm guard.

So, like I said, I've had a winner of a Christmas.    :bigsmyl:

If I could just find everything I lost in the woods this year I wouldn't need anything for Christmas.

Post by: Duncan on December 08, 2011, 10:34:00 PM
I'd like what StringStretcher is ordering!

But I'm beginning to realize that I might never have it again like I used to. So I'm willing to take what I can get and I gotta say that hunting a little in more accessible places is better than sitting on the couch.

I may never take another deer but getting out in the fresh air and taking shots at squirrels or stumps is good medicine. Thats what I want for Christmas.

I have a man cave and a garage full of gear. Im sure theres something I could put to use, but for Christmas, this is what I would like-

I would like for our fighting men and women to return home safely, and thier efforts to not be in vain.

I would like to never hear the word Cancer again.

I would like for my children to have a country with all the opportunity their ancestors had.

And I would like just one more moment with my Dad.

But Christmas is not about what we want. Its about celebrating the birth of Christ. In doing so, I can be perfectly happy being thankful for the blessings He's bestowed on me, and my family.
