I am always amazed at how you makers can do this,.. I see trees out hunting and then I see this work,.. :bow:

I saw the storm
I saw the downed tree
I met the chainsaw wielding Yotehuntr (great guy by the way)
I now see the final call :bigup:

Now to make a Lanyard or 2 then....

I will get the neighbors reaction when he opens the box and hopefully post his pic here...

Beyond top shelf sir  :bow:  :bow:  :2up:
