Great item... I guess you strap it too a tree.... Joe how long did it take you to move those pigs 900 yards.... Dave.. Each time I carry in bait, back pack full of corn (50 lbs) and a garbage bag of donuts, I tell the wife Im going for my EKG...

Yep, We use a GPS to set the winch the distance of the rope length from the bear. Carry rope and cone to the bear, then carry rope back to winch. Not sure how long it took to get pigs out that day. But my legs were fresh to keep hunting!

That isn't what I would call "fun". Skip a road trip or two and pay for one!

Still have to carry in the bait... From the time I started hunting I've always hoofed it in quite far.. Ive taken young guys hunting and always get asked: Do you really have to walk in as far as you go? If I would get alot of use out of it Id go buy it tomorrow. It isnt that I dont have the money, cause when I want something it gets bought. But to invest 2 grand on something your going to use once, and maybe not even use it at all. I thought it was a slam dunk last year to get Brutus.. He was there every day. Sat dark to dark 3 days and he only showed for a split second in the distance. Hate to invest money in something that collects dust....
