Cspot, this doesn't show much but but it basically is 2 vertical 4x4's with 1 4x4 cross rail. We attached a hand crank winch on each vertical post waist high and a roller overhead on the cross rail at each end. We used small cable rather than rope. We run the cables off the winches up over the overhead rollers and back down to the hangers. We later ran a tin roof off the side of the ATV shed over the skinning poles.

 

We have basically the same design as moon, but with 10x10's.

This has potential to be a great thread!

 

I take mine with me..

 

I've seen those Cool!

 

I live in the suburbs so an outdoor pole would freak out the neighbors. I just screwed a hook into the garage ceiling. I put a tarp under it to keep the floor clean.

Although I'm getting lazy and taking more deer to the processor.

 

I live in the suburbs as well, and hanging deer outdoors absolutely freaks out the neighbors. So much so, the HOA has passed an ordinance banning "the skinning and butchering of animals outdoors". So all my deer go to the processor. I still skin the occasional squirrel out on the back deck.

 

I take mine with me also.

 

I love that time of year:thumb:

 

The receiver hitch hoists are cool. They pivot and swing your deer into your truck bed too correct?

 

Mine does Rick.

 

I don't have any pics but I use a Harbor Freight electric hoist in my shop, I spoiled myself... lol

 

 

We hang deer bassackwards down here:laugh:

 

I have a receiver hoist. But it's just for loading deer in the truck. Then it's straight to the processor. They have a huge walk in cooler and for $45 vacuum pack And cut how I want it. It's just hard for me to mess with them. Plus 99% of the time I'm tagged out before it gets cold. So if I do it myself I'm in a hurry.

And mine rotates and the crank lowers the deer into the bed. Most of the time with a big buck you have to lift the head and shoulders in the bed. But that's way better than loading it yourself, fact is its easer if you got help. To use the hoist anyway.

 

The receiver hoist is very cool, but I was looking to go the cheaper route for now. Keep the pics coming as deer pole pics are cool to see!

 

 

 

Sugar and spice and everything that's nice King Kong ain't got nothing on her

 

I will try to take a picture of mine this weekend. Its just a metal pole with a T and a come along winch

 

I made one out of a 8' channel and welded a eye in the middle of it. Welded 4 pieces of 1-1/4 tubing to it. Then slide in 4-8' 1 sq. tubing pieces. Slap the hoist and gambrel on it and, it works fine at home. This red one works too:
