Hey Houndgirl,
Do another post with the flies that everyone is tying and when they is due. With all my deer killed I should have plenty of time to start tying....

She's been pretty quiet since the season ended, seemed pretty disappointed. Bet I got more un-punched tags left in my pocket than she does....... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

That poor, decimated herd up there! May take years to recover the from the impact of multiple highly evolved (i.e. MacMillan, Leupy, Ingram, TSX toting) predators......who knows how big a sitka buck could grow, if it could beat the odds and survive long enough! (grin)
Glad you had a crusher season, greatly enjoyed the pics.....

How does a guy living in SE bang a turkey for his Thanksgiving day avatar, and what do you have in store for the Xmas version of same?

Was thinking you could whack a caribou and take of pic of him sporting a harness with jingle bells on it, but you probably already eclipsed that idea....
Ya think HG will ever find this and get us lined out again?

Okay....it looks like I have been spending too much time in the other forums.....and licking my wounds, regarding my losses this season<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />! Okay....looks like Annie posted the list...so that is taken care of....and I'll send everyone a PM with the address.....flies are due by January 1, 2007......after I hear back from everyone, via PM....I'll refine the list and see how many people are still interested. I am trying to get started on mine this weekend....but met with some distractions this morning<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />! HoundGirl

C&B
A co-worker whacked a neat little pile of caribou on a snowmachine hunt with a sled for hauling them out. Arranged them neatly in two rows in harness and laid a stuffed Santa suit in the snow.
He then posed in his best Planet of the Apes kill scene pose and took a picture. Captioned along the lines of "Hope your year was as successful as my late-season caribiou hunt..." and used as his Christmas cards it was a big hit with all... except his wife...

That's hilarious, would love to have seen the pic!
I was stoked to see that Grayling got a little "reindeer action" of his own!

Houndgirl: The box in in the mail (US Postal). I apologize, but I did not put labels on the hooks. I had things boxed up and taped before those instructions came down the pike. Given they are the only parachute type pattern listed, folks should be able to figure it out. Will leave you alone for now. Have a pleasant holiday season, and see you around the fire. 1Minute

Don't be tempted to go test drivin' 1Minute's flies since they'll be sitting around your place for a month. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I think Steelie and I will be in a contest for who can get 'em up there last, although I did get started the other day......

Get your Xmas cards done early so you have time to tie.
I'm thinking this is a great time to learn my 6 year old daughter to tie dry flies. She can learn to row the boat next year.......

I did start tonight. A quick inventory of hackle and I wish I had some Ginger saddle hackle but I can probably get by. There must be a new rifle there... ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/Hackle.jpg)

S'head Looks like you were only half-cocked on a bunch of those chickens! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Betcha I got more hackle than you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (If Hoffman and Metz read this they will probably start pushing production in their rearing sheds! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> ) art
