Bob-
Good idea about the hanging scale and I just happen to have one that goes to 300 lbs. (the one I used to find out my Taipan platform is ~140 lbs.)- We usually use 'em to weigh our wild hogs, deer, etc. before we butcher 'em and eat 'em ('course I won't double the actual numbers like we usually do when tlaking to our hunting buds down here)-
