Home Made Hunting Gadgets

[Ol Thumper]

I know their are some serious Rednecks in this group me included and Im curious what you have made,built,modified or thought of to use for hunting purposes. Lets hear of your ideas to build something, post pics of what you have done or built as to maybe help other members to save a few bucks or build something themselves. Im all about doing anything to save a buck and be original so lets get the party started, nothing to big or to small to be listed I love seeing creative and clever things and the handy work of do it yourselfers

Ill start with what I have handy. TC Stand and an adjustable bow holder

[Tubby]

Does that TC stand have 3 stakes in the ground or just 1?


I need me one of these! (with 3 stakes)

[Ol Thumper]

This one has 1 stake and is made out of 1/2" but I made a few with short stakes on each end as well out of 1/2".

I don't have a pic and my redneck contraption is camera related.
I don't own a camera tripod, (or a camera deserving of one), so I made a mono-pod for my cheapo digital Kodak. It is simply 2 pieces of 1/4-20 threaded rod with a rod coupling to join them. The rods are each about 12" long. I use the coupling to join them together then screw one end into the tripod reciever in the bottom of the camera. Then just press it into the ground and I'm ready to take LDPs of me and my trophy when I'm hunting alone. Its lightweight and easily fits in my pack.

This may not be exactly what you were thinking of, but when I read the title this is what it made me think of. My grandpa made/used this back in the day. two rings, shoe string, and some electrical tape; kept his bow from getting away from him. This may have been common practice, I was too young to sit still when he explained it to me but I got it when I inherited his oneida. I'll never use it but will always keep it. Not a bad idea if you think of it. Some one may know more about what was used in the early 90's than I.
