Inexpensive beach scoop idea that works!

[Larsmed]

Hey guys

I am sure if your a new beach hunter you have sseen guys walkin around with the nice long handled scoops, and im sure you've seen them on the web selling at $100 or more too. I asked myself...Do I really want to spend $100 + dollars for a metal rod and scoop...Hell No!

So I went ahead and bought one of the cheaper ones that is about 2 feet long but can be used for the beach too.(under $50)

Then i decided to make my own long handle!! It was very easy. All I did was buy a long handle($10) that is used for rakes and shovels at the Home depot, and attatched it to the scoop!!

Blammmo!!!! Now after using cord ties to attatch, I have a sturdy and cheap scoop that works just well at the beach..It also saves your back!

Total spent: $50= $40 (Scoop) + Handle($10).

****Update****

Recently tested scoop at the beach and it works!!! Just need to add a kick plate to the back for a level surface.

if you are short on the funds, this may be good for you too!

thats a great idea, but also consider that one nice ring will pay for that $200 scoop, thats the way I look at it. After bending several cheap ones I had to go for the good one and glad I did.

Oregon coast is not very good for hunting.
Cold water and rains a lot.
