White elephant gift 2 - what did ya get?

[rh44mag]

There was talk of everyone posting what they got.  I figured it would be easier to start a new thread since the last one was getting so long.  SO lets hear or see shat ya got.

[Mr.Vic]

Ok I'll go first. Bamboobender sent me a copy of The Archer's Bible by Fred Bear 1968 edition. And what a surprise since I have started a collection of Fred Bear related pictures books. I met him in 1982 something and he was a very cool man. Thanks very much Bamboobender.

Opps...I posted this in the other thread too.

Hi Squirrel Bait!!! Thanks!! A girl can NOT have too many Turkey calls! I like it ...it sounds great and I like it cause in a just a few more years it will be a collectible cause of it's age. I like the hand made single arrow quiver too. Merry Christmas and thanks again!

Dawn Partol hooked me up with a great quiver.

Thanks Tom.

You are more than welcome Lonnie and I know you can use it when that North wind blows that snow down from Neb.

Billy sent me a cool assortment.  A rubber blunt, 3 broad heads, assorted color feathers, and wool silencers.  It's kinda funny how people who don't even know ya know exactly what ya need.  This is the coolest thing ever.  I think we need to start this again in a month or two when the snow is blowing and were are stuck inside.  It would be a good way to get rid of the winter blues and get us thinking about season again.  This site ROCKS!!!

I got the same quiver as skeater bait.  Thank you country girl,  That may be helpful next season when i'll be living in colorado.  Oh,  and a beautiful leather bag.  Which my 3 yr. old daughter promptly claimed for herself.

Houseman gifted me a dozen brand new, uncut 5575 Goldtips, a dozen white arrow wraps, and 100 Grain brass inserts.  I was just about to order some Goldtips...  Thanks, Houseman!

John/Alaska chose to stick to the spirit of a White Elephant Sale, etc., and provided me with some snickers, chuckles, guffaws and outright LOLs in the way of "Library" material. (I'll refrain from saying which "book review" in the accompaning letter gave me the most LOL,s       ) Thanks, John, it lightened a day when I was nursing a sore shoulder. Anyone that's planning a trip to John's area, I've got the Regulation Books right here in the Lower 48, and a pretty good "ID pic" of the Air Strip    :D   . Oh, the comment about the Walrus was Because I told John, on the original thread, to please not ship a live Walrus, as Camo Dog would try to "eat the whole thing."

Happy White Elephant Gift Pass Along! Or more appropriately White Elephant Trash Pass Along! LOL

I went looking for some items that I really don't have much use for plus a couple of other items of entertainment. The walrus was too big to ship!

White Elephants:
I Stalking & Still-Hunting - I personally thought old Fred was getting full of himself when he wrote this. Normally I do enjoy his writings. But not this one!
2. Calling White Tails Tape - Won this in a raffle. But no white tails around here. I kept the calls as they are useful for predator hunting. That is a huge passion of mine!

Items of Entertainment:
1. Picture - This is the infamous airstrip that moose, caribou & sheep hunters- fly out of when hunting the eastern interior. I took this picture a couple of years ago the day after Wingnut, Jason, John Havard & OL flew out on their moose adventure. I live about 200 yards to the left of the red hanger. Great grouse & small game hunting around the airstrip.
2. Hunting Regulations; State of Alaska & Federal Subsistence regs. Thought it might be enlightening to look at. I live in unit 12 and hunt it, unit 11 & 20E mainly (see page 61 of the Alaska book). Look on page 60 of the Federal regs. You'll see the elders hunt (I'm heading to 63 this march) for Dall Sheep. This one doesn't require mountain climbing.
3. Moose Dropping &. .. - A book of humor to read on the stand or
   elsewhere!

Enjoy! & Have a Happy Holiday season!

I just opened a bonanza box from Kojac.. Got some turkey feathers, a whitetail shed, a picture book about trout fishing in Montana, some sinew, and a great start of a broadhead collection! (At least 15 total)
Awesome!  Thanks Kojac!

The mail man left an arrow box from sndmn11 that has all the makings for a dozen ceder arrows; shafts,feathers,nocks,and field points. It even has a 3-Rivers VHS on how to build arrows. {Someone must have reported on my past efforts}. Thanks you Kyle.

John/Alaska - as the "Mainers" say, "Wicked good, A-yuh!"   :D
