Extra Long Support Bar for Ladder Stand?

Unread postby HoosierG5 » Mon Dec 18, 2017 4:07 pm

I need one about 60-70 inches long that is adjustable. Does anyone know of any? Big game makes a 32-52 but its too small. Weird ground/tree scenario on this one. Looking for suggestions

Are you talking of a support bar from the tree to the ladder about mid way up?

Strap the bracket to the tree and pull the ladder towards the tree instead of pushing the ladder way from the tree.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

I've used telescoping painters poles to gig frogs. They won't have the brackets you'd want on both ends but the poles should be long enough and rigid enough to work, if you tighten them down the joining ring in the middle with pliers. A few self tapping screws and 2 L brackets on both ends: the one that goes toward the tree could work and then screw it directly to the step on your stand.

I rig stuff all the time and only weigh 140 pounds so what works for me might not be suitable for you. Just an idea good luck
Be original and Enjoy every step along the adventure.
