RE: New treestand idea.
Dude DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT call any company until you have a patent and a prototype. Dont do it man. I have a few ideas of my own and I am in the same boat as you. I have connections in the hunting industry and I havent even told them that I have a good idea yet because I dont have it patented.
Sorry should have read the whole thread. I had the same thing happen to me already.....twice to be exact. I had a good idea and low and behold it was already marketed, I just never heard of it before.
