So we are currently mounting the show "Our Town" which is a show that is performed on a bare stage. This means that I have a full metal shop and a lot of time on my hands. What do you think of my deer hoisting boom?
If it works, I know what everyone's getting for Christmas.

Sweet! All we need is a butcher block for the tail gate and we've got a complete mobile butchery.
also, need some sort of swivel between the gambrel and the hangar so we can turn the deer in any direction as we cut on it...
Good point, I will pull a swivel from the rigging box when I start building Gambrels.
wouldn't it be more generic if instead of attatching in the bed you just slid it into the receiver hitch? and maybe put an extention on it so you could use it with the tailgate down...
That is what we are going to do for Topher's truck. He doesn't have stake pockets. The only problem this will make is that if it is on an extension it will need to be pretty thick pipe to not bend. But anyone who sends me the specs of their truck can have one in exchange for beer.
First of all - I am happy to see that you have formed your own fledgling company - Hoist & Gut dot com. Moreover I understand that you will be up in Mitchell later this year and early next year demonstrating the prototypes. One of which, of course, would be for the ever popular Toyota Tundra with the short box. This of course would be the model for the 2" receiver adaptation.
I understand that you have hired some experts up to participate in the field testing. The Minnesota Woodsman who will be helping to identify different mounting angles needed for the different tree stands that will be encountered in different parts of the midwest.
Then there are the Rescue and Recover specialists who will be testing the adaptation that will assist in speedy lift of waterlogged and lifeless bodies - specialists in biyou recoveries.
And finally the Mediteranian coastal expert/deep sea recover specialist who sees promise of this device for dock to ship and close quarter - ship to ship movement drowning victims and pirate treasures.
How many beers for the Tundra model?
How about a swing out support arm that telescopes - creating an "A" frame type support or heavier loads ... you know, like lifting my fat ass up into the pickup bed at the end of the day.
wow, thats a tall order SB. i hope pat can fill it. i'm sure he can rig something up with cable and hoist for your fat ass... :)
