Jimmy (owner) How Elimatree came about


I started Elimatree only last spring and has come along ways in a short period of time. I got the idea when I had 3 trails that came together and all that was there was a scrub oak tree bush. So one day at work while I was on break I made a trail camera stand out of Stainless steel and placed it in the bush and it work perfect. So I used it all last fall and was thinking how can I improve this. I contemplated all winter long on if I should do something more with it. I did some research and found that there was nothing on the market like what I have come up with. So in a short period of time I decided I was heading to Madison Wisconsin to the deer classic. So this meant we had to make 100 stands!! I was up putting countless hours in on the lathe machining these things and got them done just in time to go to Madison. We sold like 60 stands at the show and we were super excited because I didn't even know if I was going to sell one. I was sick to my stomach wondering what the peoples response was going to be, it was almost all positive. So after the show I decided well lets see where this can go. I was fortunate enough to get in contact with Jay Gregory of the Wild Outdoors who is very highly respected in the hunting industry. He checked out my stand and weeks later we were talking about a deal for the 2011 season. I was ecstatic to say the least! So earlier this fall the Elimatree was seen as a product spotlight segment on the Outdoor channel. We are currently are selling the stands at 5 archery shops and was fortunate enough to talk to Jeff Miller and you can buy the Elimatree at Scheels. We are currently talking with some big companies and hopefully we will become a great company with great products. So in 2011 you will be seeing a lot more of the Elimatree on T.V. and we will be attending a lot of shows. Can't wait to see what the future holds for us.
