The wife got me the six DVD set of Capstick hunting movies. I think to keep me out of the kitchen during all the preparation for our family festivities tonight.

That Capstick DVD set is really good. I love the hunting videos that show the hunt from start to finish including the trophy prep and butchering. The Ele is my favorite one but they are all really good. Also kind of sad as far as one of the DVD's being his last safari. Good set though.
2006 AZ combo hunt/fish lic. 2006 archery deer tag hunt opens jan 1 and ends the 31st. And a set of motorola 12 mile radios with extras. Merry Christmas to you all. coues

My gift arrived on Friday from Hill Country Rifles. It is a Montana 1999 stainless barreled action with a fluted barrel, set in a McMillan supergrade stock with a Pachmayr decelerator recoil pad. Don't flame me on the caliber guys, it's a .325 WSM. As soon as I get the Talley mounts and Leupold VX-III, I will give it a test drive. Plan on taking it to Russia in May for a big Kamchatka brown bear.
Merry Christmas,

The best gift was all of my children here at the house for Christmas dinner, along with my grandaughter and two friends of my daughters who didn't have anyone else here to celebrate Christmas with.

Got my God son married off yesterday! Lois and I sat around the house and drank coffee today. No phone calls!! Life is good.
I need a day like that soon. We got a hell of a storm, but good food, good family, and the wife gave me an IOU towards my new rifle build. Dammit I love that tall redhead.

Woof, good choices! I'm positive the caliber will prove to be absolutely excellent. Sad that the 8mms are such neglected calibers, they really have it all. With the new .323. cal bullets, you have a TSX for tough game, and an Accubond for softer stuff, you are good to go!

For a long time I've needed a gun safe and my wife came through in a big way with a Heritage Victory safe in metallic green with gold trim. I'm a lucky man.
My wife got me a pre-64 M70 re-barreled in 338-06 impoved. My parents got me Nikon scope to go with it! Also got a Surefire flashligh, a shell holder for my 375, and a pair of socks.
Not a bad haul if I say so myself.
Glad everyone had a great Chirstmas. Good luck to all in the New Year!
