soonershooter, what I use is called the EZ Hanger, its made by Realtree and is about two feet long and folds in half. It screws into the tree and has several hooks on it for your bow, fannypack, binoculars, grunt tube or whatever. It has really come in handy for me this year. You can buy them at Wal Mart for about $15.00.
