deer gambrel

[willie_gunn]

Have been doing it this way for some years now, gambrel with a small carabiner attached clicks into the door catch & a piece of grooved 4x2 to support the tailgate

Photo taken in 2010

Thats a very neat solution....if you can get the car close by. Sadly on a lot of our ground that isn't possible, hence the folding gambrel and length of wire

You've just saved me £70, less the cost of a decent carabiner (which is probably about £75, you b*gger...)

Many thanks

My pleasure Iain

Stainless carabiners on e-bay are very cheap, I think mine was a 60x6

Hi Dom

Although the photo was taken on a piece of ground I no longer have (land owner divorced & wife got the small estate in settlement, her children think all deer are Bambi's hence no more shooting them) I am lucky to be able to drive right around my other permission (next door to this one so same deer) weather conditions permitting

If you can hang on then I can save you the cost of the carabiner, as I've got half a dozen up in the larder. Won't be in Reading until Wednesday though.

Thanks Dom - responded to email, just so SD Members don't think I'm ungrateful and/or rude
