I run a rope through the pully and pull them up with the tractor and tie it off with a shorter rope onto the boat cleat. After I skin it down to the front legs, I strip it off with the tractor.

I have pretty much the same set up, except I have my pulley bolted down in the rafters. I use a small wheel barrow underneath for the blood. My hose/water are a ways off, so I just take the mess to the water.

Texas	Originally Posted by saddlesore 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 Then do you hang two swingletrees off one dwoubletree 😁 Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?

YEP, Sometimes I hang them in my shed from rafters I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

But I can see, if you are cleaning 3 or so at a time well worth it. Last edited by Mike_Dettorre; 07/03/22.

Skin back the hind legs a ways and hoist from the hind legs with a rope, gambrel, and a pulley using a yard tree limb. Pull the hide off first and then gut. Almost all our deer are shot between sunset and dark thirty in cold weather so I wait until daylight to part him out. Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
