La. bowhunter was overly generous to me!  Can't thank him enough.
I got:
tube style hand warmer(have always wanted one)
large knife in sheath
many feathers and fletching glue(working on arrows as I speak)
super soft shooting glove(just made the switch from a tab to a glove this year & this glove is nice!)
Shell holder for my shotgun
a beautiful cross necklace made from fairier nails(love it.  I am from a family of race horse breeders.)

Feels like Christmas!
Thanks Scott!

A BIG thanks to ArticArcher from Alaska.  I received two packages of full length feathers.  I been wanting some to make flu flu's and now I can, if fact I made four.  Great fun,  picking targets in trees and not loosing your arrows.  Hope to do more arial shooting too.  He also sent a nice knife with leather sheath.  Sweet!!!
Thanks Again

Ozy Clint sent me a package from his temporary Canadian "digs."  I got 4 interesting Aussie broadheads called "Blackstump" heads with steel adapters that make them about 245 gr.  One was presharpened to show how to work them, the other three will be left for me to learn on.  

Also got 10 small game heads made out of chip board screw fasteners which are drilled out to mount behind a field point.  

Finally, there was a little 3"x4" patch of kangaroo leather that Clint had tanned with "wattle bark" (whatever THAT is!).  It is really nicely done, and brings back fond memories of a business trip to Australia 5 years ago...

Thanks, Ozy Clint!  I appreciate what you put together, and will have fun using the various parts of the package!

SuperKodiak really made my already tight schedule even more so with his generosity.

I got:
a large piece of tanned leather (fur on)
some nice pieces of antler
some barred turkey feathers (how did he know I wanted to try my hand at making my own arras?)
some interesting pieces of fur (looks suitable for a shooting tab or perhaps some rest material)
some leather lacing
a space blanket
pin on compass
doe bleat can (I wore one of these out last year and had planned to replace it)
aluminum turkey call (did he know I was pondering my spring turkey season just this morning after passing a flock of fine looking birds?)
blade sharpener
some hex blunts
some claw adapters for field points
lots of field points
a shooting tab
a string keeper
and some wax.


Ive been enjoying making my gear now for the past couple of years so his gift was spot on.  I will undoubtedly get many hours of enjoyment and challenging fun out of all of it.

Huge thanks to SuperKodiak and to the people who take the time to get this started and keep it rolling, I will certianly be participating again next year.

Sendero25 sent me:

a black widow tab
a new bow stringer
5-minute epoxy
and an Autubon Field guide to North American trees

Thanks John, they'll be coming in handy!

[Homebru]

The generosity has been incredible.  I got a great video....Eichler and Sturgis....Trad Harvest V?  

I certainly got a chuckle out of the singing bass I saw posted earlier.

WOW.... KINGSTAKEN sent me a winner. I got Steel Force broadheads, really scarey looking, a nifty pocket knife, striker plate and a ton of assorted nocks.  Thanks Again. I love "El Elephante"

[wisconsin wood butcher]

Mr. mcowie did you get your elephant ?

[Dustin Waters]

Arwin
Big thanks for the really cool knife.
I received a broadhead knife with a note that said this:
I wanted to tell ya a big about the parts of this knife.
The broadhead: I killed 2 hogs, a doe, adn missed a coyote with this same head.  As you can tell by the tip its been used.  I wanted to see how many animals I could harvest with the same head.
The antler:  a shed found in Yankee Springs MI.  which was one of Fred Bears favorite hunting grounds......

Thats just too cool.  Thanks again Arwin.

[ranger 3]

The first time I have ever got in it and I didn't get anything.

[kadbow]

I'm in the same boat as you ranger but don't give up hope yet.  Sounds like others are just getting their stuff.

[La. bowhunter]

Im with you ranger and kadbow but things are getting rolling pretty good so any day now.

[Over&Under]

Just recieved mine from GatorGar.

He sent a great coyote head and tail, which should make a nice finishing touch on a back quiver.  A rattl'n bag, and bleat call, and a very nice winchester 3  blade folding pocket knife with bone scales.

Thanks alot Alex, very fine elephant indeed!!

[gatorgar]

Jake,
Somehow I knew you could find a use for that mask and tail.  I bought that knife about a week ago after I lost mine and the first time I carried the one I sent you, I found a beehive and was able to retrieve about 1gl of honey out of it.  I called it "Lucky Honey" after that.  Found my old knife and started carring that one again and didn't want to let such a good little trapper get stolen by one of my nehews.
Good Luck and I hope you enjoy your White Elephant.
Alex
