Ok RJ, I think we all want the picture that you are withholding! Hand it over!
While we all wait below is RJ's Vixen. He tarted it up already! BTW what's with the cheap string?

I like the table and the chairs, they seem warm and inviting.

I got a picture of George and I with the boxed bow and will post pictures of it assembled later ... I might even do a hand camo job on it like I did on another black Vixen from years ago ..

I did get a picture with George Wagner and I will assemble and paint it up this weekend , then post the pictures ... the one in the pictures above was to show an example of a hand painted camo Vixen I did years ago ..

The Vixen I picked up is Deer Hide Brown ( limbs and all ) ... I was actually thinking of doing a winetr pattern white and brown combo .

The deerhide brown Vixen was the prize that was awarded ..

Looking forward to a warm day to lay it out and do the snow camoed paint job !

I think it will look awsome with the white on brown !

We have had that set over 20 years now ... the soft pine shows up lots of scratches but it also gives it character ... I can even see imprints of my my daughter's hand writing when she was younger and did her homework at the table ...

And that, my friend, makes that table and chair set priceless!

Started the snow camo paint job tonight ...

( ** note picture quailty is not great ... I haven't got my good camera back from my daughter yet ! )

Started out as a deerhide brown Vixen..

Using cedar for 1st wave ..

Feathering in some white to start ...

1st coat is starting to take shape ... will add some brown and black as well as some other foilage , until I get the depth and contrast I'm after ..

Will post more pictures , when it is finished later in the week ..

Looking better already!
You'll have an easier time deciding which bow to take along when the snow falls next year.
