Relative actually breaking, nails are better and is what is used to secure hurricane clips in your roof, but screws if both screw and wood are intact will not as readily loosen.Your a tough old bird, a little tumble out of a tree can’t take you out!
FYI - Drywall screws snap easily and are not made to support weight. Most screws are not.
Nails are better but the best way is to build the steps into the runner and use screws to hold them in place.
That's it! Hunt from a bulldozer ! The road will always be clear.I think the biggest take from a lot of these stories is deer are curious! I've seen a Doe with a couple of fawns checking out a bulldozer shortly after it was turned off and the driver left to go back to camp!
Is this what someone means when they say, "I really got screwed?"At dark was leaving my shooting house on the hunting camp. Got to the 3rd from the top step, went to turn around and latch the door and the step gave way. I must have looked like whil e coyote.
Straight down I went. Hitting the 3 3 inch drywall screws down my right side. Luckly I was wearing my ACU pants today. Not a mark on em. Me on the other hand.... Yikes.
Whacked my ribcage hard on the step rail on the way thru. Have no idea how those 3-3 inch screws missed my guts. Landed on my feet. Was way out in the camp, my bride was in her house about 1/4 mile away with a dead phone battery. I was VERY lucky today.
Need to inspect my (new of course, winchester rifle, with leopold scope) darn it. Have to shoot and see if it's ok.
BE SAFE.
BE EXTRA CAREFUL
INSPECT THOSE STEPS!!
there is always time to fix something that could cause you an injury in season. To reiterate what Bowhntr6pt said, I remember tearing down an old tower that I wanted the 4X4 legs to build another one. Middle of the day I am sledgehammering the thing apart and throwing it all of it in a trailer, banging around like all hell broke loose. I look up and there are several does in the road I drove down, looking and walking toward me to see what was going on. I have taken a Bobcat under the stand I was hunting and shot a deer within 5 minutes of that from the same stand. I have scared deer off a corn pile and dropped dogs to run hogs. They pooped and peed all around the corn pile and when we came back through an hour or so later the deer were back on the corn eating. All that to say I'm not sure any of it is a big deal as some make it out to be during season.
