I’ve built a half dozen skinny racks through the years.

Many times I've hung them from the front end loader on the tractor.

Hang from a tree at camp till cool. Let processor skin if getting meat done up. If we're going to process the deer ourselves - friend down the road has a nice shop with a blood spattered fork lift. Works well and pretty much infinitely adjustable.

I have a singletree that was used with harness to pull a wagon or cart Usually one horse or mule. Actual word is Swingletree, but no one uses it now days. It has an iron hook on each end that the trace chains fasten to that fits nicely above a deer's hock and an iron ring in the center that I hook to a chain hoist that is hung from the garage trusses

Gambrels, on either chain block, or a come-a-long, from the beams of my workshop !

We don't hang ours we use a skinning and gutting saw horse, once they are skinned and gutted,we hang them and wash them down, then put them in the cooler. Just noticed there 3 campfire guy's in this picture, we were having a great time. Rio7

Hackberry tree. Have a hoist and gambrel set rated to 600lbs, with a locking gizmo. Even the Secretary of War can lift one with that.

The weather looks so nice where everyone is!
Deer gun season here is usually after all the farmers get done harvesting, which means the hanging critters may need thawed some years or the shop needs heated a bit...not always good and definitely puts the aging to a halt. One year I drug the critters in the kitchen to thaw and skinned them on the floor.
I like to do them in the field, quarter them into game bags and cooler age them, but that cuts into the hunting.
Deer are like squirrels; the skinning is a hell of a lot quicker the closer they are to being alive.

My heart's in the mountains, my heart is not here. My heart's in the mountains, chasing the deer.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
