I've not built one of these but looks like one will be added to my to do list. I can use one for when I go hog hunting soon.

I went to one of those traveling tool shows, and bought a hydraulic hoist for $100. Its designed to bolt down in the back of a pickup and load cargo. It swivels and rated at 1000lbs. I just welded a piece of 2" square tubing to the base, and slide it into the hitch receiver. Works really good.
I'll have to get a pic of it to post on here. Its at the farm 45 miles away.

That sounds like a good idea also. I have a truck bed extender for my canoe that i may try to use. Im headed out to black kettle for gun season and i was trying to think of a way to easily quarter any deer i harvest so i can get them into ice chests. I dont remember anywhere in cheyenne that had one to use and the trees out there can be very sparce in some areas. I figure this year i may just take the block and tackle and hope for a suitable tree. I doubt ill find the time before the 19th

I'll make a point of getting a pic to post. I had to come up with something as I threw out my back dragging a nice buck into the back of the pickup the year before. Its bothered me ever since and don't take chances any more.

I have never seen one but that is a great idea.

Be sure to build some good gusseting in the corners. Most deer aren't that heavy but if you plan on using it for skinning, the weight being pulled down can easily double the force being pulled.

I could see where one that swivels would make life so much easier!

The one that is built in the link that i posted will swivel once the pin in the middle is removed. It would help tons
