I've had it so long I don't really remember all the details....but I originally ordered it from some outfit in Nevada. It was billed as "The Cheater". The current version works a lot better than it did when new.

We also do a lot of ranch hunting so even if you have to walk several miles to find the game it's possible to return later with a truck.

The whole crane breaks down into component pieces for transport. It originally came with cable loops, but my BIL (who is an excellent metalworker) replaced those with pulleys and added a circular Teflon collar at the base for ease of rotation.

That's my son with a 300 lb whitetail from 2006.




Where did you get that rig? Or, did you build it. That would be dandy for recovering and butchering out in the field.
