white elephant?

[jrchambers]

seeing as how it is the holiday season again i was wondering if the white elephant exchange might happen again, i know last years was alot of fun

[trapperDave]

that it was!

[NightHawk]

It's about time for another white elephant, maybe after the first of the year?

what is white elephant?

[Soilarch]

A "white elephant" is a gift that someone gives you that was given to them as a gift.

Same thing as "re-gifting".


I'm new here and think it's an hilarious and great idea for forum like this!!

[trapperDave]

oops a tad early then, I was just looking at all the stuff i got that i dont use or ever will use and was thinking some one would be glad to have it.

I would like to get in on this as well.  Might be a good chance to empty out the shed!!!!  Does it have to be archery related.  I make some nice fly boxes filled with my hand tied flies.

acolobowhunter....you just got my attention 8^).

[acolobowhunter]

About cleaning out the shed or the fly box?  I make them out of oak with hidden magnet closure.  I wood burn a dry fly on the outside.  I usually put about 15 flies inside.  2/3 nymphs and 1/3 dries.  You would have to let me know the patterns you want.  If your interested email me and I could send you a photo and what I usually get for them.

How bout some peacock bass flies tied on
tiemco 3/0

[acolobowhunter]

Flatsboat - hook size 3/0???  That is a gaff in this country.  I usually tie size 12 down to size 20.

[deadpool]

I have some flies I tied myself =]
I haven't used them in a while since my fly rod broke =[

if you guys are interested pm me

I guess we can trade some gear or sumthin =]

I'm up for another white elaphant, when does it start?

[Soilarch]

Question on the white elephant:

Can we do services also?  I have a bunch of "stuff" lying around like the next guy, but I highly doubt it would be useful to anyone else. Don't want to ruin the surprise though.  One would be hunting related...and something I'm finding most hunters could use. The other is just a general thing that people could use for anything, but certainly hunting.  Both would require trust and shipping.  I'd pick up the shipping tab on both ends.  

I do the fly thing as well, but I guarantee nobody wants those, especially if they go after picky trout!!!

Guys, This is a trad archery site...please refrain from trying to sell fly fishing gear or anything else on the Pow Wow    

[Ian johnson]

I'd be willing to start off another white elaphant if anyone is interested, thats if its ok with the mods

I have some stuff to be re-gifted    

Maybe this White elephant trade would be better off starting up after the Christmas rush, though?

A lot of folks are pretty busy right now, what with holiday preparations, traveling, etc.
