Got a pic of how you're hanging the gun on the tree? Looks like you're using a saddle.
I didn't want to hijack the "Live from the stand" thread.
I made these hangers out of Amsteel and the metal legs off of an old plastic yard sign we had.
I made an extension to use in case the tree is too big for it to go around. I rarely need the extension, but have used it a few tines.
I hang my weapon, backpack, and quiver when bow hunting from these. I really like the simplicity of them and not having to have an added hook to be able to use a daisy chain type system.
What y'all got for hanging y'all's gear when saddle hunting? I like learning new ideas from others!!
