Re: Hanging a Deer
Hunter Specialties has a hanging system rope, pulleys, gamble for about 20 bucks. Find a stud put in big eyelet and hang your deer. One other thing, get yourself a plastic 55 gallon drum and cut it about 18 inch up from the ground, it will catch blood, ticks and deer lice when they fall off.

Re: Hanging a Deer
A couple chains and as pulley or two and a wench are all that is needed. or you could quarter out the deer and hang with ropes just about any ole place.
It is truly not that complicated. Back in the day when I was an EMT, we would use an ambulance to go pick up road killed deer. Throw em in the back and take to the Ambulance hall, hang em, skin, and quarter em right there.
At some point, the Ambulance hall Board found out and for some reason, had a major fit about us using an Ambulance to get road kill!
Best of luck,
CL

Re: Hanging a Deer
I would pop my head up into the garage crawl space and see what kind of joists are spanning the ceiling. A lot of garages have 2x4's in them. Not really a lot to hang a deer on. If you plan on cutting up the deer yourself the swing set or something more sturdy sounds like a good idea. At the WV campsite I go to I have seen all kinds of stuff. One outfit uses a swing set variation made of water pipe. A few other guys are using a set up you stick in the tow bar on the back of your truck. I use a come-along and a tree down there and a come-along in the basement (I have a walk in basement). I have used a tool shed with 2x4 joists, but I reinforced the joist I was using. I would look around for a used come-along. I and other guys I hunt with went the rope and pulley route. Not good when it gets tangled up. Last thought: If you are taking it to a butcher, why hang it? By the time you get it out of the woods, it is done draining. If it is still draining, it is too hot to hang around anyway.

Re: Hanging a Deer
Put a big eye bolt in the ceiling. Maybe 3 or 4 in long and make sure you hit a rafter. Get one of those pulley gambrels. I got a cheap one and it runs the rope through three pulleys. It's like pulling about 1/3 of the weight. I can lift a 150 lb deer no problem by myself. Maybe $40

Re: Hanging a Deer
I know that I little late to the thread, just want to share my invention
I made myself alone like this model by Game pull system http://huntingfishingplus.com/best-deer-hoist/ I went with the versa button attachment method.
I could only get about 60 feet of rope onto the spool. I used a 5 mm rope so that it was strong enough to do the trick.
In addition to resisting the deer, I also plan to use it to hang my permanent stands. I have several stands that I made from a 1-inch square tubing for permanent sets that weighed about 50 + pounds, so I plan to use this to lift them up into trees so that my hands can freely attach chains around the treesLast edited by Kstiah; October 10th, 2018 at 03:03 AM.

Re: Hanging a Deer
I have a drop from my garage ridge beam and a pulley setup with gambrel.
So far it has worked great, just need to find a way to keep deer from spinning while I am working.Una Salus Victis Nullam Sperare Salutem
