Manchurian crane's normally.

Just looks like a bit of ' export ' gear.

Well, if its a Manchurian crane...then it is,nt Japanese..and as it has No3 on the box..its more than likely to be Chinese, as this number is favourable in China,

For deer ??? Explain !!  Bow season doesn`t start till October and that's the earliest one that I am aware of !!  Not sure about the game ranches though !!  I am in NE Texas !!

Seeing as how there are two Golden Triangles...one of which is in California..and the other in Asia..then it could be different there...

Mmm,, didn`t know about that one !!   Compact is nice but a pretty common 60ish import piece !!  If you have a Chinese restaurant close they might translate for you !!

Definitely an import piece.  Compacts are collectible and you can get from $8 - $20 for this.

Try a search for Whitetail Golden Triangle, pages full of ILL. Thanks for the compact info too.
