I am possibly going to get some Fallow stalking this year. I will have to make a hoist to gralloch. How high is the hoist going to have to be to keep the deer clear of the ground?

Hi Trouble thanks for the info. I will cut a sunroof into the car and start growing a tree now. . Whilst there are trees on some areas where the fallow are is not suitable. hedges and the occasional tree you cant get to, unless you have a very tall ladder. I like to be self sufficient.
Stalkerboy, I served my apprenticeship as a fitter welder but then went and got edumicated and joined the sitting on my arse brigade in the office. I can make things but a lot slower as well out of practice. I have had a look at both your systems. There are parts I like. Your rack and hoist looks like a hefty beast. I am starting to wonder if I should make something like that. Might be a bit overkill for me. Unlike you, I think if I get to shoot 1/2 a dozen deer a year I will be doing well. You have some nice ideas I will have to have a look at my towbar and have a chew over it. I would ideally like something I can disassemble flat. Just had a thought. If I weld a bit of box or clamp it to the side of the towbar I could just insert a bar which would fold up and sit in a bag in the truck.
I think I see the beginnings of an idea here......... Cheers for that.
