Thanks for all who are participating.
My package will go out tomorrow but I am sure the "Ole Girl" had made it to some of you folks.
Here's the thread you can show off what you got and say you "Thank yous"/
God bless,Mudd
PS: I was treated to a special surprise from my friend "Macatawa". He and his son drove in from Michigan for the week end and we've had a blast but there will be a separate thread detailing the fun we had and my getting to meet Byron Ferguson.

Alright Mudd, here's what was waiting for me at the post office this morning. Mark "Mangonboat" you hit a home run with this one! Only problem is I wonder if your stalking me knowing exactly what to send. I'm pretty sure Wyatt will be down for Easter weekend and he is going to be one exited little boy! I'll have to keep him from shooting eggs around the yard. And to top it off the bow is the same age I am! I will put up more pictures of Wyatt and his new bow when I give it to him and just like the youthbow giveaway I will pass it on when he outgrows it. Thank You Mark, you couldn't have sent anything better. Dave

Two gloves in excellent condition. The wife is getting her first bow soon and has laid claim to the "first rights to refusal on them" as she tests to see what she prefers. Also 6x 250gr Tusker Concorde broadheads that will be perfect for some pig sticking arrows. I typically shoot 250gr up front already, although all my arrows are right winged. I'll have to make up a set of left winged arrows and just keep them loaded with these left beveled Tuskers for pigs; golly I hate having reasons to get more arrows :jumper:

I got a couple of dozen parabolic feathers, a bag of flu-flu feathers, several dozen fishing jigs and a new flashlight!!!
I really enjoyed this.

Man, you guys really get into this thing! I always thought of a "white elephant" as a junk exchange in disguise. This was my first year, and while I sent a couple things that I thought would be nice, I see I have been entirely outdone by the rest of y'all.
Kudos to you super givers! I got a great gift from "Shinken", and thought at first that I must have gotten the finest of them all... a knife, shirt, call lanyard, and elk tube and call! Wow! It was a great gift, and I greatly appreciated it!
Thanks again to Mudd for getting this started!

Now he want's to know if he can live with Papa for a couple weeks cause that is where the archery targets are! Thank you again for your kindness and research for the "White Elephant" gift. Dave

The "Ole girl" took her last (for this year) name at 1pm DST today.
She will continue traveling around making her deliveries.
After the last delivery is made I'll pen her up again until next year.
Everything is going super smooth and will hopefully continue this way.
If anyone doesn't get a package that signed up please let me know.
Thank you each and everyone of you who played.
God bless,Mudd

Just got back from Easter visit with daughter and family.
White elephant had dropped by.
Thanks Don Gibson from Troy Michigan sent me these goodies.
The Buck Knife needs some blood on it. Very nice.
I need some help with the native fur pieces. Looks like they will make some nice arrow rests. Any idea on animal type and riginal intended use?
Thank You.

I can't take credit for the knapping. I traded some prepped bamboo backing at MOJAM for them. They are all close in weight.

I came home late from the office tonight but I forgot all about work when I saw a package from Garret "GDPolk"! Inside was a set of fingers identical to the ones I shoot with every day, a 4-color earth-tone 62"string already fixed up with cat whiskers, a Mossy Oak mesh ball cap, a half-dozen Razorheads with new bleeder blades , a camo gear bag that will fit over a hip quiver and the latest issue of Traditional Bowhunter magazine! If I cant nail a gobbler this spring, it wont be for lack of hunting gear from Garrett! :archer:

Howard (ranger3) sent me a nice little care package stuffed with goodies. Two bow stringers, a swiss army style knife, hard Arkansas sharpening stone with belt sheath and a cool suspension relief strap that can be quickly attached to any safetyhharness (I've always removed the ones that came with my harness because they seemed like an after thought and were just in the way). Thank you for playing along Howard and thank you Mudd for training the ole pachyderm girl for another year of fun.

Here is what the pachyderm left in my PO box.
Thanks Don, how did you know I needed the whitetail info????
I've never hunted whitetail deer before, but a friend in Illinois is going to take me to his "secret" spot this fall and I am pumped about letting the air out of one ( or more ) with my Thunder Child!!
Thanks again, what a fun thing ( the white elephant ) and a great bunch of people here on TG.
