[QUOTE="dyates, post: 540619, member: 7137"] I don't use chains directly on calves legs. I use a wide (2 1/2"), thick (1/4") nylon strap that has a large metal ring on one end and a smaller ring on the other that will slip through it. I put that on the legs and attach chains to that. The strap is actually made for tree work. It's called a cambium saver. You have to have more leg out to get it on, but I think it does a lot less damage. This dude was just hip-locked so hard, I thought I would pull him apart before I got him out. Luckily, he is now doing fine. Seems like I have one odd-ball pull like this each year and that's all. Last year, it was a breech that turned out fine. [/QUOTE]
