A couple days ago I got the call...someone had hit a deer in front of my parent’s house and they didn’t want it.
She was a mature doe and pushing 150-200 lbs on the hoof. I gutted her and left the pile back off the road for the yotes and managed to get her into the car.
At home I had to hang her and realized I had everything I needed in my saddle backpack. First I hitched my 30’ tether to a brace hanging down from the ceiling.
Then I out the tag end through my Ropeman and hung it from the brace. Next I pulled the tag end to get most of the slack out and used a small climbing snatch block pulley to connect the hanger I had stuck through her hind legs to the pulley.
I pulled the tag end down from the ropeman which was now acting as a progress capture pulley of sorts. Since I’m a lazy guy I used my hand ascender and foot loop on the tag end to lift the doe by stepping on the foot loop, then pushing the ascender back up.
Worked like a charm and at the top I hooked another caribiner into a climbing rated webbing loop chain also hanging on the brace and let the tension off the rope man.
Anyway, thought I’d share and I’m sure you guys have other methods we can learn from.
