Looks like a nice little set up and fairly easy to install. Now next time I see that rig, there better be a deer hoisted up.

very nice eddie

[First-light]

Cool that works great, now lets get one on it for the real demonstration!

[Geno C]

that is very nifty

[Doc]

Always tinkering!! I love it. That's pretty slick. Like you say, all you need now is a deer to hang. Make sure you take a video of the first use. That'll be pretty neat to watch.

Dadgum, Eddie, that is just slicker than snot on a doorknob...Nice setup...

Must be the winch is setup for a 12 volt..Hence the battery..??..

Ed, you just have too much time on your hands, lucky you!

[Buckstopshere]

Neat idea! I think I'm going to try it. Did you run into any problems? What if you get more than one deer at the same time?  You'd have to move one out of the way to hoist up another one, right?

[fasteddie]

I wouldn't shoot doubles . Don't want to pull the garage roof down !  ??? ... ...

[NYBowhunter]

very cool idea Eddie. We use two small pulleys to hoist deer and works well but still requires some physical labor, however the buck I just shot we used the front loader on my tractor to lift the deer and that was effortless...lol . I was thinking to do what you did for years now but never got around to doing it, thanks for the instructional now I have an idea as to how to set one up. Do you have the battery hooked up to a tether charger or will you just charge the battery with a 12V charger when the battery looses juice??

What's hanging next to those deer?

[fasteddie]

NYBowhunter ------ I have a Trickle Charger that I put on maybe once a month . The winch is 12 volt and could be run by jumper cables to a rider mower , car , etc .. I chose to use a spare battery . I also have a Float Charger that I can use if necessary .

[heatmizzer]

silent stalker i was wondering that also. It can't be....could it?

[Bleitten04]

My wife grows hot peppers and hangs them and lets them dry. And they are hot!

Yeah I meant to say trickle charger, thats what I figured.Thanks for the info

[heatmizzer]

buckstophere, thanks for the clarification

[burmjohn]

Eddie, nice setup, and great idea!

[WNYBuckHunter]

Nice Eddie, Ive been looking at getting an electric winch to put out in my shop instead of the HME rope winch ever since you described the setup a while back. I figure Ill keep the HME rope setup around just in case I get two deer to cut up.

[Mr VJP]

I was wondering what the hanging shrubbery is for also?

I use a 1.5ton chain fall with an endless sling suspended from a tree branch to hoist the deer up. I made a triangle with two hooks fashioned from baling hooks to attach to the rear legs.

I understand this is an older thread but I just gotta know something.

Do you have a backer plate behind the 2x6 for the winch? Can you get close enough to the door with a truck to be able to hook up the deer and not have to drag the deer to the garage,if so...that's great! That's a great setup.

[fasteddie]

Single_Shot ----- It's fastened to 4 studs with 9 lag bolts . My son backed his pickup into the garage and we pulled it out of the truck-bed with the hoist . No problemo .........
