Tree Stand Doubles As A Game Cart

Tree Stand Doubles As A Game Cart FARM HOME recreation Delmar Miller of LaGrange Ind is a long-time hunter who didn’t like having to haul so much equipment to the woods for deer hunting His 20-ft aluminum tree stand folds down onto an easy-to-roll game cart The idea came to him after years of hauling a tree stand out to the woods bagging a deer and then having to head home to get equipment to haul the deer home for processing “I used to go out with a portable climber type of tree stand ” he recalls “But it wouldn’t work on trees with a bunch of limbs on it I wanted something that would work on any tree ” Miller’s stand is 20 ft fully extended and leads up to a small platform with a seat The seat is attached to the platform A safety strap secures the platform to the tree Getting a ladder that tall to collapse onto a game cart took some work He thought about the concept for a year and took another 8 mos to create a working prototype “The powder-coated lightweight ladder itself is 18-ft tall and it divides into three 6-ft segments ” Miller says There are hinges on the ladder that allow it to fold “The platform and seat both fold down too ” he says “When everything is folded up the game cart is just over 6 ft long” Miller is building his first batch of 10 deer stands/game carts A N Y hunter already bought two stands and Miller is looking to move the rest of them He’s already had several dealer inquiries about the product which sells for $900 Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Delmar Miller 0440 West 100 S LaGrange Ind 46761 ph 260-463-2868
