I got a NAP apache carbon arrow rest ,kodak playsport video camera, pack rack, some little scent things for hunting, 100 dollars to gander mt. , and a new survival bracelet, Most of the stuff is from my parents but im really exited to see what else i get.

    Canon Powershot SX500, I would highly recommend it. I have been playing around with it for about a week now figuring out the different settings and it is a dream to operate. It has a great zoom too, here is a picture of a bedded down muley at 300 yards to test the zoom. I also shot a couple quick videos with it that I will try to throw up sometime this week.

    Looks like people are having pretty good christmases this year so far. Im trying to decided what mount to get for the Zx5 im thinking about mounting it to the riser of the bow. I was initially going to put it in front of the bow with the stab but i found the video camera in my house that ill use for the shot and the Zx5 for a 2nd camera view.

    Spoiled rotten kids! :o I can't even get my family to buy me a pair of long underwear for hunting. I'm not even sure why I make a list for them every year.

    I typically just buy what I want anyway.... I'm sure they know this... lol!

    Nikon monarch.. Take that gift card to Gander and walk out with those!
    I picked up another smoker for myself so I can do fish in the smoke hollow, and everything else in the master-built.
    I also splurged for a Rock River AR that I went half way in with the parents for their gift to me. That will arrive at my local Gander here in a few weeks.
