Big Dog hang on stands?

[S.B.]

How come Big Dog stands don't come with shoulder straps, or were they missing in mine?

Actually a lot of stands come without them or at least in the past have come without them and you had to buy them as an added extra cost item. I think it stupid but that's the way of life. I think many if not most of the stands on the market are at best piss poor designs that never should have been and there just wasn't enough thought put into them. I'm not familiar with the stands you mention but over the years I've seen some real abominations marketed. One of the worst was the very first the Baker Board. Talk about one that never should have been sold, that for sure was one.

At 24 pounds, I'll need the straps.

Yup I agree but hang on/lock on types almost NEVER come with a carrying strap. Why I cannot say but it's the way of life. I've owned several and none came with provision for carrying them to the woods.

I called Big Dog, they're in Morton Il. and I'm in Pontiac Il. just about 60 miles apart, Monday and they sent the straps, got them Tuesday. No charge. So, a big thanks to Big Dog and their customer service.
