ATI Forend Pistol Grip (recently bought at Cabelas by me), brand new, in package never installed or shot with. Fists any Standard Picatinny Rail.

I will pay to ship to winner, or hand deliver. Let me know.

IN ADDITION:

I will be adding a matching 5pt set of shed elk antlers to the auction. These, being found by myself and brother, in the colockum, I think will be very fitting.

I had read through some of my personal messages and realized again that he and I talked about elk hunting in the colockum and that he had intended on swinging by our camp to say hi....he knew where we camped every year. These sheds are perfect for mounting, or using in a project.

Thanks for coordinating and running this auction, Jackelope.

I know it's a lot of work and a huge commitment - taking up family time and countless hours of personal time. Your contribution to the Blanchard family should be recognized as much as the generosity of the guys making their goods and services available for auction.

This whole process shows what a great bunch of guys and gals we have on the forum.

Thanks for everyone's support is such a heartbreaking time. I didn't know our brother, but clearly! he was a very good man.

We'll get the dekes added in too....


Just FYI...it will probably be 2 weeks before the newest additions get sold. Just want to make sure folks are aware. We're trying to keep it manageable by running 1-2 auctions a day.

Thank you all.

I would like to donate one dozen custom tied steelhead jigs in a jig box to the Blanchard family auction. The winner should contact me after the auction closes to let me know you favorite color combos. I will handle shipping costs. The pics are examples as these jigs will be tied to the winners liking.

Updated with photos.  Please see new post below this post.  Thanks!

I would like to donate a Honorary Diamond Willow Porch broom to the Blanchard Family Auctions.  This broom will be hand made, one of a kind, engraved with Colockumelk's initials.  I will choose the nicest piece of diamond willow in my collection for the broom, and select the finest grade broom corn.  I'll also add my heart and soul to be sure it will be a fine piece of functional art to remember him by.  Hopefully I can have it made before the auction.  Here is a pic of a similar broom. 

Colockumelk Honorary Diamond Willow Broom -  Retail value $135.

I've just reached out to RMEF and David Allen to see if they'd donate a Life Membership to the cause.

Just want to make sure everyone has a chance to have a look at the upcoming auctions.

I've also recieved a $700 certificate for taxidermy work from Cedar River Taxidermy.

Got word from Randy Newberg from hunttalk.com and On Your Own Adventures TV show that they will be doing something on that site as well.

I've got a few more irons in the fire I'm waiting to get solidified too so stay tuned. This has been and will continue to be epic.  You're all incredible individuals in my book and I'm proud to be a part of this incredible community.

Thanks to all you who generously donate your possessions and time to help the Blanchard family!

Wow it is great to see so many folks reaching out to Colockumelk's family.  I'm proud to be a part of this fine community of outdoorsmen & women.  Great to see everyone coming together for one cause.  It is very uplifting.

Today I made a special diamond willow porch broom for the Aaron Blanchard Family Auction.  I think it is the nicest broom I have ever made.  I just love diamond willow.  The broom is drying right now, and will be shipped from our shop to the winner's mailing address.  We will pay for shipping.

This is a nice full broom, great for the porch or floor.  It will look awesome hanging in someone's cabin or at the lodge.  Goes good with your taxidermy collection, too!  It is 60" long overall, and the sweep is 14" wide.  The broom is woven tightly on a choice piece of diamond willow treated with natural beeswax wood finish.  If I was to post the broom on my Etsy it would bring $150, so bid generously for this one of a kind functional art.

Happy bidding, and may God bless Aaron's family until they meet again.

p.s. - I tried my hand at engraving, and I totally suck at it.  I decided not to screw up the broom, but still I dedicate this piece to honor him and his service to our great country.
