RE: Bowhunter breaks back when "climbing stick" fails.
Part of what you said highdesert wolf was pretty dumb.Part of it true.I wouldn't generalize and call some of us union workers lazy,especially ones like my self that risk our ,lives climbing poles rubber gloving12,000volts for a living, and put youre power lines up in the back yards at 3am in the morning,or aftert a huricane or ice storm You might piss off a few UNION lineman.No it'sdeeper than that,there is greed all the way around.
if you would have read my post thoroughly, you would have read that i was refering to lazy union factory workers. I have no problem with trade type unions electricians, steel workers, carpenters etc you guys are important and productive and deserve your wages. Just someone who works for ford or GM who pulls a lever all day stamping out car doors is not worth 30 dollars an hour. The only problem with some trade union workesr they usually vote for democrats.
I figured my post would have gotten a rise out of some of you, If you are not a union factory worker then I have no problem with ya.

Alright it takes man to put his foot in his mouth to hopefully walk away with a little dignity, I dug myself in a hole I cant dig my way out of you guys proved me wrong I'm sorry. Just Im very pissed about all the manufacturing that companies do over seas, I was pointing my finger and blaming over paid lazy factory workers yea thats a generalization and you cant do that because not everyone is like that. I didnt intend to piss anyone off so Im leaving this alone as of now.

Good man Highdesertwolf.I hate it too.I am a union member and my hall tells us to vote our paycheck(Kerry)I can't do that I have to vote for what my heart says.So back to the topic.Someone mentioned about hanging stands,well you got that right ,that's my most worrysome time too.When the stand is up don't sweat it,but when hanging them you can make mistakes.Last week end I hung three stands,and one of the stand location that I love to hunt,l had the strap twist on me,anyhow it's an API stand and I undid the buckle.What a B1tch I had to remember how the strap went through the buckle while I was hanging up there by a body belt,and an over head teather.It took probably 35 min to figure it out.That was darn near harder than any pole that I ever worked from.

Can this thread get more off topic? I ask again for the original poster C903 to get people advised on the bad stick. Can you I.D. the faulty piece of trash please?
