Is this suppose to be for someone who can't afford to outfit their kid or for whoever can post up the cutest kid pictures? Now everyone can see why Muleshoe asked this question... What a cute pair of little girls...right guys? Kid in need and cute as hell, now we can have the best of both worlds! Thanks to Tom and Mac for posting...wanted others to see who the candidates are...which shows why this is so worthwhile of an endeavor... And if No One Objects, I'd like to rename this thread in honor of a great guy, Mickey Coleman...

Thrills my heart to see this named after Mickey. I know he would be thrilled as well.

Seafire, If there's need for a scope for one of the rifles, I have a NIB Burris FFII 3-9x40 Ballistic Plex I'll donate in Mickey's memory. I have an extra sling as well.

Seafire, what's the story with the boy in the family of seven??? Is he one of the candidates?

yeah Roy, he certainly is... no one is getting left out on this one...each 'candidate' is getting supplied with something of their own to further their hunting pursuits as they grow...

It'd be nice if this was done yearly as a memorial at Christmas time in honor of Mickey.
I know administration of it might be difficult......just a thought though.

Seafire-I'll be sending the binoculars with Goalie as discussed. I'm hoping to have more to contribute shortly here. When do you plan on distributing this stuff?

Jeff,
when I get stuff together... sadly this got a late start, so this stuff being under the Christmas tree before Christmas is not going to happen... What I am hoping to do is let the dad's know what will be coming their way as soon as possible...
pledges have been made but has been slow in coming... and until it is in hand, it is just a pledge not a donation... sorry to look at it that way, but plenty of folks have something financially show up and send your plans south... we all should understand that...
the positive thing is that EACH kid is going to be taken care of... I am sure they can forgive us being a little tardy.... if we get this going earlier next year and if we chose to do it... then we'll get the stuff under the tree...
I call this a real success when we had started out with one kid getting a nice present, and suddenly 3 more are going to be experiencing the same thing... its nice not having to choose...
hope this answers your questions...
best regards
john chr.

Seafire,
How many hunting knives are needed to round out the package so each child gets one?
Let me know how many you need and I will send them to you

Giving one youth a gun is a nice gesture. Setting up a Mickey Coleman Scholarship Foundation would be another excellent gesture to remember Mickey as well as to offer scholarships to deserving kids.

Seafire-I met up with Goalie today at the Flave-a-thon get-together and passed the binoculars off to him. He is going to include them in the box when he ships the gun out. I'm hoping to do a Wally-World run on the 26th to take advantage of the price cuts on the left over gift packs. I also plan on getting some headlamps, survival stuff, etc. to make up some nice care packages for the kids. How many kids are we doing this for as of today?
