Yeah, I saw their booth at the Harrisburg, PA Sportsman's Show. That thing is pretty cool. The guy was able to make it work every time. I bet I'll wish I had one next time I drop something out of my stand.

Nope, looks like another gadget to carry in the woods with ya! I don't take to much with me to drop out of my stand, but if I do happen to drop something, I'll just climb down and retrieve it myself![8D]

I just use a large fishing treble hook the kind with the lead weight molded to it.I cut the barbs off and slightly round endswith file.Tye some strong string to it and you can pick up a fully loaded backpack,quiver,hats Etc.Works great.

I think I would probably make more noise cussin about that not grabbing my stuff then I would make if I just climbed down and grabbed it myself.

I use a climber so its not practical for me to climb back down and disrupt everything.I keep mine in a crown royal bag makes it real easy to find.

By the time you get it out and actually latch on to what you drop you could have climed down and back up.

Unless you grab the wrong Crown bag. Then you just might get a little tipsy and fall out of the tree.

thats pretty cool

I'll wait to see which thread it ends up on next year - worst investment or best investment
