    You're both close, but the word you're looking for is "Deliverance"!

    I mean, you can hear the banjo as soon as you open the thread.

    It wouldn't be that large... haha. Prolly primarily the base for an elk. but if i do a deer i'll prolly use a small fork.

    besides shouldn't seat belts keep people from moving forward? :)

    No offense taken bud! :) We each have our own ideas of looking good right?

    I mean I dislike 4" tube side steps... but that doesn't mean that they don't look awesome to others

    Well it looks like you already have your truck set up as a good deer blind... they might get skiddish though if they see bits of themselves all over the inside of your cab.
