Default Daver 40th Birthday Competiton Marabou

Hi Guys,

Firstly let me apologies to any of my customers waiting on materials, I have never been this busy in my life and with my dads leg break and stuff has knocked me out of sync pretty bad, In short I am playing catch up and struggling at the minute. All I can say to you all is thanks for your orders, please be patient as im working through them to provide you with the best possible quality materials, only stuff that I would use myself. If only there were 36hrs in the Day. Now for some light heartness I hope.

Ok I will be 40 yrs old this year and some will know this competition from before some will not, but I spent the whole day bagging black marabou, yes BLACK marabou as Ive had so many orders for it. I have uploaded 2 Pictures one of my thumb and one of my fingers, both pictures have been taken in daylight and my hand, fingers and thumb have not been washed at all during the bagging process.

Each plume of Marabou goes through my fingers at the bagging process at least once and is stroked 2 or 3 times to have the plume in optimum condition before going to the customers. just like you would do when tying in a long black marabou tail on a tadpole.

Ok what I want you to do is post your guess as to how many plumes of marabou have I stroked today Easy, well maybe not have i stroked a lot of a little.

The Prize is 10 bags of marabou from myself of your choice of colours
.

So all you got to do is post your answer here, one entry per person and at the end of march I will reveal the answer and who has won. The closest Guess is the winner.

IMPORTANT I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY PLUMES NOT BAGS OF MARABOU

Also for the month of March I have a separate competition running but for that you must visit my site, but the prize is a days guiding with me on the river Clyde or the lake of Mentieth your choice.

GL and tight lines to All in 2010
