Its a little bulky but I use 5" pieces of 2X4 and parachute cord. Drill a hole cross ways about 1" from the top and tie a 5 foot piece of cord through the hole. Rap the cord around the tree and daly it around the block, pulling it down behind the block to the string. If your cord is long enough you can go back around the tree and tie it to the block again. You need about 6 or 8 blocks depending on how hi you set your stand, maybe more. The blocks can be removed easy and limit axcess to your stand. Carry them in a small bag and they can be stashed near your stand when your not using them. DCM Good luck on your hunts.

Whats up with the draw this year. I cant even draw a leftover 30B tag. I even put in with my brother-in-law from Wisconsin. Thank fully I do have a couple of kids to take out hunting. Two for deer and one for cow elk. I wish I could make the meeting this week end in Flagstaff to try and find out what is going on with the draws. This is the first year that I have totally been shut out of any tags. What are your fealings about going back to the computor draw? DCM

a long time ago when I was going to school in Williams the back side of the threesisters was a good place. I stuck a lot of deer back then with a bow in that area. Just start walking over the hills from the ninth tee of the golf course. Scout it out first though it been 25 years sence I hunted there. DCM

I don't mind the money up front. I just wonder if I did something wronge on the paper app's. Out of 15 applications for my family we only got one youth deer tag. Thats not counting the three app's for leftover tags. They need to come up with a way to still charge upfront to eliminate the "weekend waryours" DCM

Where and when do they post a list of the leftover tags. The only thing I saw on the GF web was for military. DCM

The hole family stuck out. I guess 27 bow hunt. Congradulations to all that drew. I anyone is needing help in unit 1 or 27 give me a shout. Again congradulation to all. DCM

Man I hope the results are posted soon, so I will know for shure that I got drawn. Just befor the site for the draw went off line I checked and their were no draws but all by bonus points where gone. Good luck to everyone and I am predicting tomarrow at 5:00 PM. DCM

Hi I am a new member and would like to know what you hunters think about hunting coues with a 40 caliber muzzleloader. I am looking at getting a green mountain barrel and building a new gun. DCM

Lets try this again. I dont know if my last reply worked. I don't see it. Thanks for the information gents and ladies. I am triing to find a bullet mold for the 40 but have only found ones for round ball. I have killed deer and elk with my 54 cal and enjoy it a lot. I have been putting in for goats for ten years and am hoping to draw a tag in unit 2B for ML. I have been drawing a tag for 27/28 whitetail and think it would be a blast to hunt with a smoke pole. I hope I can get this to shoot good enough to hunt with. If any thing it will make a sweet target gun for my kids. DCM
