    Not sure if I am miss understanding this post or not so don't make fun of me, I didn't read every single reply. [:D]

    Any, your looking for the steps/foot pegs that strap onto trees, correct? Why not just buy a drop of angle at a steel yard or from a fab shop? Buy some 3/16" - 5/16" thick 3"x3" or 4"x4" angle, a drop of 6' or 8' will probably only be $20-$30. Imagine how many 1" wide steps you can cut out of that (72-96). Then just buy straps at some surplus store or harbor freight.

    Hey guys...and girls/girl. Havent been on here for a long time because ive been to busy in ecconomec pursuits (working). But I want to tell about a way to get free steel for your hunting ladders. Check with your ATV dealer. The motorcyble shop had a bunch of metal skids out back and I asked for them. They were made up of all kinds of tubular steel and the owner was going to throw them away. I dont know if all motorcycle shops is dumb enough to give good steel away but I have bought bikes off this guy, so he didn't mind to give away a little scrap. These things are made to hold and protect motorcycles and ATVs. 4 x 8 retanglar and some of it already looks like a ladder. Im' going to work up some plans for stick ladders for a few good trees locations. That way, I can spend any extra money for ground blinds which i realy have more luck with anyway.
