I know. I KNOW! Seems like a bunch......but if I ever get a bird with my bow....I want to have it on film. I've got a road (gravel driveway to a friend's land) that'll get me to within 250 yds of where I want to set up.....and, like I said.....I KNOW where they're going to and coming from. i can get in their way!

If I were utilizing "run and gun" tactics....I'd NEVER consider this deke. If I allow myself plenty of setup time, though......I don't think my plan is flawed. I could even leave everything in the field after a morning hunt......and go back there in the evening.

PLUS.....I'm gonna have a partner to tote 1/2 this crap, anyways, on a few occasions.
