Well, I had an extra buck to collect last year so I took a good friend of mine to hunt. This was the first buck he had ever shot and his third time hunting. So to say at the least he was excited. We started out bow hunting but when the snow came I told him he could sit down in my brush blind or climb in the stand with me. Needless to say he agreed to the stand. It was cool to watch the hunt unfold the way it did. Oh yeah and he did the frame and the planks him self. I think it looks awesome. The buck Scored 130 as an 8
