Is there a way to bid on this?

No, this is a local charity event, not a public auction.  I hope I haven't broken any rules posting photos of bocote.

Mike--Merry Christmas--we miss you up here in the land of snow and no deer!

Looks like an awesome traditional bowhunting package for someone.  I think the only rule you broke was too big of a picture?

That quiver is certainly eye popping! Would like to see the rest of the package as I'm sure it's very nice. Looks like they pulled your Pics.

Cool! I've used mammoth ivory on knife handles, but it never occurred to me to ask for it on a bow overlay.

I did once from Mike and it was an awesome bow, but you can't keep them all forever and it now lives in Kansas. There's just something about holding that mammoth tusk in your hand and realizing the power of the animal that it came from.

where does one come across mammoth ivory? and how much is that stuff? pretty cool!

Mammoth or Mastedon used to come from glacier escavations but now mostly comes from fishing nets in the North Sea.  Not as expensive as gold, but higher than the grocery store.

Just wanted to add that our Taste of adventure package went for $3100 at live auction to benefit the Ronald McDonal House.  Already have the wheel churning for next year.  Jeff Higgins added some  beautiful arrows to this package, and Don Orrell added some beautiful bocote stirrups.  This was one of the highest selling packages last night from all that was sold.  Really exciting and a true blessing to help someone else.  Sorta funny how much better it feels to help someone else other than ourselves?

From the items to how much, and the cause, they went for, this is very cool in every respect.   :clapper:

That's great.
The Ronald McDonald House really helped out my family a few years ago when my twin sons were born extremely pre-mature and we had to be near the hospital in Hershey, PA - a two hour drive from our home.  My son Michael unfortunately passed away after an extensive hospital stay, but Jonathan is now a thriving 5-year-old.

I don't want to take anything away from Trad Gang's support for St. Judes, but if you ever consider donating to another charity, please consider Ronal McDonald House.
