Hope this one gits.........SOLVED !

y'all thinkin'.

The flat end appears to have been hammered on and also appears to have a slot to maybe accomodate some sort of wedge.

Re: Hope this one gits

Maybe you hammer it into a telephone pole as a hand grip/foot hold for climbing...

Just a guess...

Re: Hope this one gits

My thought is the whole thing is a wedge...but no clue as to what it wedges

Re: Hope this one gits

Could be like DCMatt said, but maybe for use in trees to climb to hunting stand/platform. The flat part from pounding would be to drive it out and remove it.

If y'all look at what part is Hammered, it would not aid in driving this thing into something, In fact, jist the opposite, it would knock it out of something.See what i mean ?

Re: Hope this one gits

could it be driven into a tree by pounding on the curved part and then removed by pounding on the flattened part?
