[montyarrow]

Can anyone recommend a deer hoist for use in the field. Will be mainly used for fallow in woodland. Many thanks

At the risk of banging the same drum over and over, tree surgeons sometimes use a piece of kit called a Maasdam rope puller, its like a toothed ratchet winch, but uses an unlimited length of rope. It's slow but effective. YouTube has a few videos, I love mine and find it really useful for all sorts of things, maybe have a look?

A Warne 9500 pounder does it well.

Keith Watson (Keith’s highseats) does a neat pulley system for about 50quid.

B&D Stalking do a nice ratchet pulley - very pleased with mine

I bought 2 pulleys out of B&Q and made my own , cost about £4

a nylon rope hoist will do the job

Been using this since over ten years. Pully from dingy sailing with dyneema rope and clamp on the pully. works a treat and is very light weight.

If not to late. These are brilliant I just got a cheap pulley block off eBay to go with it for about £4

I’ve got a double one way racket block with a switch on it to release it’s all in stainless steel and I can lift fallow up with one hand using food grade rope

I got them at Whitstable marine supplies and the guy will make you on stainless 7 strand wire to go on your s hooks to go over a stout branch -and heavy duty drag wires as well all in stainless. Just wait for the boss to go out and put it all in the dishwasher they come out spotless ready for the next round

They aren’t cheap but they certainly work and wear well

The best I’ve used yet.

I have a small ratchet single block in the same material with a rubber ball to sling over a high limb to hang the main block on to get a good height it works very very well and you can use it all day long

The good thing about the tie boss is you can lower it down slowly and swing it into a sled or the car, I did try a ratchet but it just ends up in a heap on the floor

I didn't bother with their drop in pulleys though just a cheap one on eBay was good enough

My set up is virtually identical to ejg's (above) I even think we use the same main rope ! Far cheaper than anything a shooting specialist will sell you and does the job perfectly. Weighs very little in the bag but will lift even chunky bucks with ease. Bought my pulleys from here if remember correctly Flint Hire & Supply - The UK's No.1 Theatrical Chandler but cheapo's from e-bay may well be plenty good enough.

I use one of these. .

 

[Chasey]

I use one of these for £6.00

In five years bout 80 deer, I am now on my second one

Put decent rope on the first one but found it was holding moisture when used in the rain and making my bag wet so stuck to the cra@@y poly prop on the second and its fine.

Super light weight and pretty much disposable
