it may be 90 and humid but i'm as excited as a 5 yr old on Christmas morning!
came home today and found two boxes on the porch; one really long one and one really small one. i'll start with my the small one- my custom st. judes knife made by the father and son team of thaddeus and lil thad. what an awesome job they did ! wish i knew how to post pics. it has a brown and green cord handle and two form fitted sheaths; one kydex and one leather. sharp as all get out and they even threw in a sweet hat as well! once again, great job with contributing to the kids! i'll take great pride in using this knife.
second box,
my new-old bow. my new 1969 bear kodiak hunter just arrived and it is a thing of beauty. again sorry no pics.( yet ) classic design and feels great in the hand. shot a few quick arrows out of it before a storm just hit, and it is soft and quiet. 45# at 28 and was throwing and arrow fast and straight!
more to come...
:thumbsup:
Awesome!
Congrats but we need pics, lol
Awesome! You can email me pics and I'll comment with them if you'd like.

I hope they donate another knife next year. I will be saving up some money.
Pictures... PLEASE????
:pray: :pray:
I managed to have a couple of high bids, too, and have been thrilled to find St Jude packages on my stoop the past couple of days.
i'm working on the pics , should be soon!
:dunno:
i should have more st judes goodies coming this week as well.
i love this time of year! shot the bow last evening with a beautiful set of arrows that i had ordered from dave at wilderness custom arrows a few years back, and they flew dead on and pretty quick for a 45 pounder; it also seemed to like my gt 35/55's cut to 29 1/2" with 225 up front.
as for the sweet knife, i can't wait to get it dirty on the first deer of the season . if anyone is planning on bidding on one next year, ( assuming thad and lil thad offer one again ) you will have to get past me! i'm planning on starting a collection! they also sent the original letter that was posted on the auction which i thought was a really nice touch.
