I just miss going into the gettin place and seeing a wall of blued, wood stocked, non threaded rifles on the wall.

Oh yeah, tires! Cooper stt (the original were great on small light pickups) the original BFG mt, but the stt mt’s were my favorite tires

Had a couple sets of the stt's. Never again. Fuckers always wore lumpy

Acorn kruncher, deer view mirror, cough silencer, and the butt out tool kept my freezers full for many a year.

If you've worn out your original Fart Baffler, I might still have some new/old stock from the old BowCountry days/daze.

Not sure where the hate comes from for the Loggy Bayou stands. Bought mine in 97. It had the whale tail notch, steel band with rubber sleeve. There were two long braces on the bottom side of the stand that extended to the bottom of the notch. Had pointed steel inserts made that dug in. Hard. The seat had three positions for tree lean. And when the over center buckle was closed. It was rock solid. Loved that stand. Folded down to about 6", weighed about 14lbs with the hand climber. Loved that stand. Had it set up in an oak, went to use it one afternoon in 2022, windstorm knocked another tree down and destroyed it. Was like losing an old friend.

Only took one ride on mine. Climbing a smooth bark tree after it rained. Tried to reposition, and it dropped about three feet. User error.

Loggy Bayou veteran here. Got in on the ground floor with them, or nearly: late 80's. Terry Bradshaw used to be in their magazine advertisements, LOL

My first LB climber was the best they made and my favorite climber by anyone before or since, bar none. Hunted the hell out of it until new Year's Day 2001, when it was stolen by a fellow sportsman before dawn. Drove a few miles home, swapped my rifle out for the 11-87, drove back and sat at the gate all day until a hour past dark waiting for that effer to come out with my stand on his back, but it never happened.

Loggy Bayou made some poor designs after the initial models, and some decent ones, but they never quite hit the same right notes as my first stand once they started tinkering.

If you know what you're looking for, you can find the good stuff used, and well-loved if not well cared-for.

On the better LBs, you shouldn't have a safety concern. With any climber, if you set up on a leaning tree or an icy tree, be careful!
