Man, you guys really get into this thing!  I always thought of a "white elephant" as a junk exchange in disguise.  This was my first year, and while I sent a couple things that I thought would be nice, I see I have been entirely outdone by the rest of y'all.  

Kudos to you super givers!  I got a great gift from "Shinken", and thought at first that I must have gotten the finest of them all... a knife, shirt, call lanyard, and elk tube and call!  Wow!  It was a great gift, and I greatly appreciated it!

Thanks again to Mudd for getting this started!

My guy is MIA so far. Is there proper etiquette to breach the issue?

I really did enjoy my part.That is what it is about anyway. Didn't realize how much fun I would have putting somethings together for a total stranger.

I got a great knife and a handy key ring from NittanyRider. Thanks, David. I'll definitely put them to good use.

Mangonboat, You sure did make Wyatt one happy little kid! Couldn't even get him to stop long enough to eat dinner. Now he want's to know if he can live with Papa for a couple weeks cause that is where the archery targets are! Thank you again for your kindness and research for the "White Elephant" gift. Dave

Thank you Jake,aka Over and Under, for your package. Everything will be used and my son-in-law already eyeballed the leatherman, good young man so not whining. Appreciate your thoughfulness.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

The "Ole girl" took her last (for this year) name at 1pm DST today.

She will continue traveling around making her deliveries.

After the last delivery is made I'll pen her up again until next year.

Everything is going super smooth and will hopefully continue this way.

If anyone doesn't get a package that signed up please let me know.

Thank you each and everyone of you who played.

God bless,Mudd

Just got back from Easter visit with daughter and family.
White elephant had dropped by.

Thanks Don Gibson from Troy Michigan sent me these goodies.
The Buck Knife needs some blood on it. Very nice.
I need some help with the native fur pieces. Looks like they will make some nice arrow rests. Any idea on animal type and riginal intended use?
Thank You.

Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.
