Question for Tree Stand Hunters

[Gunslingergirl]

So, I was reading a DNR web site, I don't remember for which state, and it recommended using a rope to raise and lower your gun when entering and exiting a tree stand.

Now I realize this was written before the DNR knew about the Gunslinger , but it got me thinking. What do all of your who tree stand hunt use to raise and lower your gun when entering and exiting your tree stand? Do you really use a rope?

I'd really like to hear from anyone who uses a unique contraption to raise and lower their gun, or to secure their gun when hunting. I've been wanting to put a page on our site about the unique ways people used to raise and lower their guns before the Gunslinger existed. If you've got a good story, please share.

Thanks,

GSG
