Not sure if I missed it, but how did everyone make out on Christmas. Did everyone get what they wanted or any great gifts they want to share about? As some of you know I have no kids yet, so me and the wife get to have a good time with each other at Christmas. She bought me a Layman Digital reloading scale with a built in powder trickler, a RCBS digital caliper. Some hunting clothes, a camping gazebo for this summer. One of the high lights also was I told everyone that I wanted cabelas cards and most everyone did it, and that is one thing that is good to have power in numbers with! So I get to cash in there too!!

Hunting is like Marriage, you get out of it what you put in it. Sometimes you score and sometimes you don't, but its always fun going out!
I got alot of useful stuff, nothing to outrageous though, butwhen your a dad its more about the kids anyway andthe older they get the more expensive they get,and sodoesthe stuff they want(just one video game can be upwards of $50...)
I didnt really want to spend a whole lot this year as my kidsgot alot throughout this last year anyway,but I easily went through over $500 on them...but I guess to them it was pretty awesome as they were pretty excited with what they got, and thats what matters...
there was a couple small things(hunting related) thatI kind ofwanted and kind of threw out but I didnt get either one... I hinted at my daughter that I wanted to get some spitfire broadheads, I even showed her what they were in a cabelas catalog but she forget to tell her mother
I also hinted that I wanted to get a DNK string for my crossbow, but that didnt happed either... I even gave out the contact info but I guessdoing thatwas a little too much work, now I have to get it myself...
oh well... I did get alot of othercool stuff, no hunting stuff though...
I did OK, the wife went to Michigan shopping and brought me home some neat stuff.. Best thing is my new boots.. Good and high to keep me dry crossing the river, a new pair of gloves and a deer drag, she is quite optimistic.
I hope everyone got to see the people they wanted to see and had a smile or two.

I tend to give the cool stuff: 1 lb of TAC, box of 36 gr Varmint Grenades, New Hornady loading manual, cap light, etc. Somewhat of a trade off for a digital picture frame and ill fitting undies. But did score an Ice Armour ice fishing suit that matches my FishTrap Pro ice shelter. (Gifts from myself, one for birthday the other from Santa). Hey, a man can't just put up with what others think he needs!
PS The digital picture frame is loaded with a slide show of the grandkids tho.

The only thing hunting related i wanted for Christmas was a Trail Camera... My girlfriend knew this, so i was pretty sure she would get me it... Anyway, on christmas day, there was no Trail Cam sitting beneath the tree with my name on it... I was kinda surprised but not upset... 2 days later she asked me why i seemed down (Which i wasn't) then proceeded to hand me a "forgotten" christmas gift, which sure enough contained the trail camera which i asked for... She thinks she is so clever
