If you've never listed anything before, I ask that you donate and list JUST ONE item.
It could be something small that'll fit in a padded envelope, so shipping is no concern, and something that'll raise much needed funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
So...
Will you commit to JUST ONE item?
Veterans of the auction will step forward as always, I'm just asking those who have never gotten involved, or if you've joined since the last auction, to jump on in and get your feet wet.
Who's in?

Well I'm more of a buyer Bud... but since you asked.. ok. Ill find something :) The big ticket items are exciting to follow as they leave my comfort bidding zone but the smaller items are actually fun to bid on too. It's exciting.
:campfire:
:thumbsup:
I'm gonna be more of a bidder this year, too. But we need things to bid on ;)
I have a couple things Bud, will take pics and throw on there when I have more than a few minutes of free time.
Great Idea by the way.
Also I would like to add, It doesn't have to be Trad Archery related. It could be just about anything!
I think I can come up with something small...tippit

And sharp too, I'll bet!
I'm going to dig through the closet and see what I can come up with!

Well said, Bud. Let's all try to find something to list.
I grew up in Toldeo during Danny Thomas' heyday and lived just outside Memphis for a while growing up..St. Jude's has always been important to my family's sense of community. I've got my thinking cap on to come up with something different.
Yeah...thanks for mentioning that whatever you choose to donate doesn't have to be trad archery related. Good point Charlie!!
You'd be surprised just how much a dozen chocolate chip cookies go for...not to mention pies and cakes :eek: :bigsmyl:
I'm in. Already have a few things set aside.

Jeff could you do a little forge a long with some pictures? I love your work!y our latest bare bones Skinner proto type looks awesome.
:campfire:
I was thinking about seeing if there was someone that I could send an item to that might be able to keep up with the auction better than I could, but I may just try it this year. I also make a semi-homemade, signature dessert that I call "Fat Boy Brownies" that I may put up....
I think I'm going to be able to offer up a weekend hog hunt this year hopefully for two.
I know I have stuff I can add to the auction. Just ask my wife..
Just listed a pistol holster, a bow, and my wife donated a deer shoulder mount.....you kill the deer, she makes it look alive again for your wall.

I almost spit coffee on the laptop! :laughing:
CLASSIC!
It's a busy time of the year for many of us, but we can't ignore the kids. We are going to donate a couple of our newest bow quivers for the auction. Right now we are coming up with one that's special, just for the auction...,just for the kids.
Thanks Bud B for the reminder.

Up top, Bud!
Just go word that Toelke Traditional Archery, Dan Toelke, is donating one of his new Pika Classic longbows.
Thanks for all your hard work and support!

I love the way that friend Bud B. is urging folks to help in good causes like this one (in a number of places and ways) since his retirement from the "Police" profession. I have met and shot with Bud on a number of occasions and consider him a great guy, and a real supporter. I kind of also look at it like he is following in the footsteps of my (almost full-time) cheer- leading efforts of the past, since I am not near as active at that as I used to be (it's an age thing - LOL) Thank you for/from all of us, Bud. You have a good way of doing it and are definitely getting results, and making a difference - never doubt that - and this: Every Little Bit Helps.
I do not have as many items to offer as usual, this year, as they just haven't been available. (I'm sadly lacking in my usual Kokopeli items for instance.) I do have ONE of my own that is a beauty, and has Karma - that I expect all you Kokopeli lover's to really fight over - don't disappoint me (and the kids), PLEASE. I did finally get my pictures taken and then posted to Photobucket yesterday, (most of a full day's job due to slow-down on my part and being more mistake prone these days). I will start listing them today (I hope). :archer: I am hoping you find some of interest. Some should do well and as usual I have some lesser items to let most anyone, so inclined, to join in a little bit, at least.
FOR THE KIDS of ST. JUDE - :goldtooth:
Thanks Bernie!!
I just listed one for Jon Stewart who fights his computer to post pics, so he sent it to me to photo, list, and mail out. I think I'll be bidding on this one.

Bud,
It's getting better and better! More hunts coming on board. A tremendous number of quality bows, knives and other items!
Thanks to all the donors! It is all for the Kids!!!!
I got half of my offers listed this evening (the day wasn't long enough - LOL Getting close to my bedtime now, so will do my best to finish tomorrow morning.
Ooops - I forgot today is our anniversary (52) and the wife wants to go "shopping", etc. in another town - so it may be tomorrow before I get to post the other half of my offers.
Keep putting up an item, or two, or more, guys 'n gals - it all for the kids - our blessed kids.

I have an item I'd like to put up for the auction, but I seem to be an idiot when it comes to posting pictures.
I just recently opened an account on the photo sharing site, imgur. I'd be happy to give somebody my sign in info if you'd help me with this.
I could also send the pics to your phone from mine, if you wouldn't mind sending me a PM with your phone number.
I can try to post the pics myself, but from past experience, I'm afraid I'll drive myself and everybody else here crazy before I make it happen.
It's just a small item, and I wish I could do more, but I want to get it posted before It's too late. Thanks.
Bob
Problem solved. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
Bob
:thumbsup: Whitetail Addict!
I'm sure this is posted elsewhere so I apologize for the redundancy but when is the deadline to post? I've got something but may not be able to post it up until Thursday evening.
Thursday is good.
ALL BID forums will OPEN May 23rd at 6:00 PM EST.
The BID forums CLOSE June 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th at 10:00 PM - bids must be time stamped 9:59pm to count!
I got the rest of my offers posted today (whew) and feel so good about it. I also am super pleased to see my "brother", Sockrsblur has offered up a bait of his "Double Lung" Chocolate Chip cookies. I can't eat but one cookie now and then so he sent me a special "3 cookie sample" (and my wife snitched one of those) - LOL. We both agreed they are truly special - sooooo good. Be sure to consider his offer when you are looking for things to spend your charitable funds on in the auction. Trust me, I am a (retired) cookie connoisseur - :goldtooth:
I posted up some great tools from onXmaps. The chips are $99.99 and the apps are 29.99. Hope this helps and we are happy to donate to such a great cause. Well done Trad Gang!
Tomorrow!!!
List'em up!!
Down to the short rows for listing!!! Bidding starts tomorrow evening - hurry, hurry, hurry :D :jumper:
I just listed 66" Pearson Javelina 40@28.
It's an older bow that could use some cleaning up but it's a shooter.
God bless,Mudd
