WHATZIT!!!!

My buddy Brad, the owner of the woods where I turkey/squirrel hunt is a farmer as was his dad. Those of you, who are or know farmers, know that they are some of the most creative, inventive, & mechanically inclined people around. Many years ago, Brad’s dad saw a need for a particular piece of equipment, looked at what he had, & built what you see in the pics. It has been sitting in the woods for a long time & parts have rusted & broken but I think you can see the general shape & such.

I know what it is but would like to see if anyone else can figure it out. I’m going to wait for several days before posting the answer.

I put my rifle in for a size comparison.
