Why did u make the replica ?

Short version….my boys and I have spent 3 years with this buck. Lots of videos and pics. Never seeing him. My great nephew shot him this year. That is Who we hoped would get him if we didn’t. So I told him we would replicate the sheds for him if we could replicate the rack.

Yes you don’t want to order a lot of it. Kind of like concrete. Better have some extra sidewalk forms ready for the extra. She is gonna set up fast!
