i am getting a summit soon but not for this year....probally for next season....im buying a muzzleloader and all the goodies soon and i am getting my driving liscense in a little over a month so i want to have enough saved by trout season to buy my own truck.....so i want to save money....and i have spots where i can leave a latter stand up all season and be fine after this year so it wont goto waste....i thought scraping the bark ect would be a way to get a nice fine...maybe damage is penetrating the bark.....i dont know the book really doesnt say....i really dont need a deer cart.... i mean it would be nice....we walk about 2 miles back one way and the drag is just as long....this year im smart...im hunting away from dad and its about 1/2 mile closer to the truck lol...we shot 3 deer one day back there....it took us a long time to get out even with the snow...without the snow we would never shot 3 like that....most of the drag is on cut game commision trails so its not so bad...but a long ways....but if i could put wheels on a ladder stand it would be easier to get back there and also double as a cart when im coming out.....if my object was a deer cart id buy one....
