The hayloft floor in the front of my barn is a bit over 10 feet high. The ridgepole is over 20 feet, and I've got a 3-sheave block & tackle and a gambrel attached up there. It's a simple matter to hoist a deer or two to a convenient working height for skinning/butchering or just hang one out of reach of the varmints if we want to age it for a few days with the hide on. That only works if the temperature is right- - - - -just a few degrees above freezing.
