Dear Santa

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 11 02, 2015 •  [Post 1]

Dear Santa, I've been really good this year and boy, I sure wish you'd drop a _____________________ down my chimney for Xmas this year :D. I think everybody has that one piece of gear they'd really like to get their mitts on. What tops your list of that one item you'd relaly like to have?

I have everything I need but a helicopter would be a big help. That or maybe a reliable hunting partner for my hunts other than elk.

I am interested in replacing my trusty wool parka with something more modern and lighter. Maybe a Sitka Incinerator or similar. Any suggestions? Has to be warmer than warm for sitting in sub zero temps.

Why ditch the wool? Fred Bear wore plaid wool and shot a heck of a lot more animals than any of us!

Just a 20 million dollar lottery ticket. Thats it :D that would make hunting a lot better. I did not go turkey hunting or bow hunting for whitetail. Work work work.

A Winchester '94 chambered in 30-30. This is the gun I am borrowing to rifle hunt this year, and I have fallen in love. It would be an awesome first rifle to call my own! That or a Barrett .50! :shock:

I think a Ruger .22. Bull barreled handgun would make a great stocking stuffer.

Kryptek Aegis Extreme is a nice warm coat. My wife bought me one for Christmas a few years ago and I hardly wear it as I get hot. It has to get down in the single digits before it is comfortable for me.


For me a Tarptent Statospire II or a Hilleberg Nallo II GT.

It's heavy and bulky. Back then wool was high tech. lol I bet Fred bear would have loved to have some Sitka Gear.

A pair of Schnees Beartooth boots wouldn't be too hard to get down the chimney now would it?

I just blew some Cabelas points on a a Leupold RX1200 rangefinder, so I kinda feel like I just got a Christmas present from Santa Cabelas!
