VtBowhunter Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Sounds very interesting, but it sounds more like a permenant stand idea to me.......A very good one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbucks Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Re: quick survey on design of mine sounds like it would be nice for hunter that like to tree stand hunt but mabye there back cant handle putting them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Re: quick survey on design of mine Yep, folks are probably gonna want it. It's not just gonna be the disabled or elderly either. Such a proposal has the possibility of a safer quieter way to climb. It would be most useful if the power and mechanism was contained in a unit that could be easily packed in. That way several sites could be set up to accept the stand and the more expensive powered component could be brought in and removed as needed. This allows the hunter that requires such a device more versatility and makes theft (which unfortunately happens) more painless. Plus the half a setup scenario makes theft much less appealing.

tp793 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Re: quick survey on design of mine Sounds to me like people would be interested. I know of a lot of people that would love to be up in a treestand again but are denied because of sore knees, joints, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2hunt Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Re: quick survey on design of mine Sounds cool. There is something like that on the market already so I'm assuming that it's practical. Here's a link to the only one that I know about that sounds similar http://www.timberlift.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Re: quick survey on design of mine Sounds pratical to me. Dont know about takin it round tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoyt_hunter Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Re: quick survey on design of mine sounds impresive, and if its going to be a lot cheaper than the timberlift, it's got to be catching peoples attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Re: quick survey on design of mine You'll need a good theft prevention device. Maybe built in places to attach a lock or two. Good luck. I think the idea is great and I'd be interested in knowing more about your plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagobbln Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Re: quick survey on design of mine Pretty neat idea. I certainly see a demand for it. Just think of all the people who ride the little scooters around Walmart cause they're too lazy to walk! It's right up their alley! Seriously though, (I know, don't worry about the details, but....) how much weight will it handle? I know it's not just for the disabled, but you might contact somebody like the NWTF's Wheelin' Sportsman and get their take on it. We have a local Wheelin' Sportsman deer hunt every year and are always limited to ground blinds for most participants. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfletch7441 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Re: quick survey on design of mine What about weight of the batteries? Seems like they would be heavy to transport from here to there. Especially up hills and such. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
