Moose Lifting Tripod
Does anyone have pics of field gear to lift a moose off the ground for skinning and gutting. I'm getting too old and tired of rolling around on the ground with the animal. I hunt by quad and pull behind trailer with a small winch on the trailer for winching up quarters and am looking for ideas of a break-down tripod sort of affair for field dressing. Lots of ideas on the web, but something 'hunter tested' would be great.

Wouldn't be hard to build a set of gin poles off the back of a flat deck trailer.
I usually use a front end loader.

Moose
We used to hoist our big animals up but Like many people we've gone to the gutless method and won't look back. A leg of moose is a lot easier to deal with than a whole moose. You can skin them first if you wish to preserve the hide (I like to do that) or just cut the legs off with the hide still on them and skin them after. If we're hiking in that's what we do and then hang the legs in the trees to finish the skinning.

We used to chain a snatch block in a tree quite high, run the quad winch cable through that, winch the moose up, and back a tub trailer under it. Once loaded we would drive it to camp and use the winch off the truck to hang it from a meat pole.
If you do this, some things to note. Make sure the tree isn't dead (don't ask) and you may have to chain the rear of your quad to another tree as it will often slip if you have softer ground.

We have done tri pods out in the bush to get moose up. Ok when your with a couple guys. Liquidation store chain hoist is what my older uncles switched to. So did we.
Stand on the back of your quad, reach up and wrap a chain. Hook chain hoist up and one hand up your game. The uncles could lift it high enough to drop a whole moose into the 8 wheel argo most times. Drop in, cut off front section. Drop in back section. We have done it into trucks and tub trailers.

Thx guys
Good tips, thx. That pole/tree video was cool, could come in handy for moose parts, usually the bull stays where it falls - Yukon/Alaska moose - and that's usually in some treeless buck brush. Think I'll weld up a sectional tripod with hoist, similar to the deer hoist that was posted, basically to heft one end, then the other for skinning and to dump the guts. I usually hunt alone so any third hand helps. As far as the 'gutless' method goes, I've thought about that also, but love braised moose ribs!

I built this one out of pipe. It handles moose elk and deer no problem. The receiver height is adjustable, and the top swings 360 degrees. I also put a clip for a snatch block for the heavy stuff. It breaks down into 3 pieces.
