I forgot to post this back when I saw it... but while on vacation, and friend of mine and I went to a Cabela's just to kill some time. While there, we found ourselves in the hunting section (which is most of the store... I agree...), and lookey what I found! AN ACTUAL DEER STAND!!! Or more correctly... a "Game Hanger Tripod". Couldn't resist taking a picture and posting it. They still make them in the tripod fashion... although it appears that the pickup truck mounted deer stand is more popular these days. I could see why... easier to transport... still get the same height. But yeah! Deer stand! I like this picture a lot because you can see all of the features that we were hoping to use for the turbine... the crank shaft control that we found on one of the stand legs.... the plate, the legs... everything! I can now officially say that we refurbished an old deer stand because now I know that they did exist and that was the tools function! =D |
