I now own some First Lite camo....in the discontinued ASAT pattern. I can already envision the Woodbury jacket logging alot of time in a treestand. Got some lightweight merino wool pieces too. Should be great for early season spot and stalk out west.

ground hunter you got one awesome gift. I have learned and appreciate good health the older I get. Without health- it's almost impossible to enjoy anything on this side of the soil.

Got spoiled up here...Day One high backed pants, Kuiu glassing mitts and the Alpine pant. But what was even more awesome was spoiling my son with a Hoyt Carbon Defiant Turbo wrapped in a PSE box! Good fun for sure. Also bought him the new hooded pull-over from Day one which he also loved! Great time of year.

An artist delivered Gail's gift from the grave last week - a watercolor of a big elk in the snow that she'd commissioned for me before she died. I had no idea. That was hard.

Damn Lou, that is hard. . . .
I got an REI gift card. I'm gonna get a pair of Asolo boots.
The best gift was seeing my daughter react to her presents. She got a "jeep", actually a Polaris Youth Razr. Her hands-on-head disbelief was the best gift of the year. And I got it all on video so I can enjoy it again and again.

I had the joy of watching our kids open their gifts on Christmas! This is the first year in a long time that no hunting related items were given at Christmas. The closest we came was the signed copy of Eva Shockey's book I got for my daughter.
Lou, I'm sure that was a hard gift to receive but also a painting you will treasure for its significance.

4 out of 5 of our kids are adults now so this year we told them not to expect much........
Because we spent our hard earned holiday checks on an Alaskan Cruise in May. We've never been on a cruise or to Alaska...... and we're very much looking forward to it. I'm going halibut fishing at our first stop in Ketchikan......

I had to tell wifey about 3 years ago that she didn't need to get me a Christmas gift - I don't need much and get what I need during the year. This year she said the same to me and so we bought a 'Christmas' for a family that is living at the women's shelter.

One Christmas Eve, as a kid, I heard gun shots from down the road. In the morning my dad said that some one had shot some of Santa’s reindeer and he couldn’t make it to our place, so no gifts.
But to his credit, Dad had taken the time to turn around all the mirrors in the house so we wouldn’t have to watch ourselves suffer.

A couple sets of polyester base layers in medium weight. A dozen Beman ICS hunters. And, a custom knife made by the best, unknown knife maker in this country, my brother. He has truly perfected the heat treating of O1. With the one he made me this summer, I've skinned and broke down three deer plus, opened a can of baked beans with it. And, it'll still shave you like butter. This one is even better at retaining an edge.
But, the best gift I got was to see the face of my nephew when I gave him a model 70, in 270 caliber, that his dad, (my brother) used to own but, due to hard times, had to part ways with 15 years ago. I was blessed to get it back a couple years ago and, have been patiently waiting on the day for my nephew to get old enough to receive it. It was my brothers first big game rifle and now, it is his youngest son's first big game rifle. He's still far to young for it but, he definitely has something to look forward too. If my brother allowed his kids pics on the internet, I'd post it. Kinda like Bake's girl but, he jumped about 10 inches in the air. My wife timed he pic perfectly.
ground hunter, sounds like you understand life. God definitely is good.
Lou, keep the faith bro.
