RE: anyone tried this????
For anyone interested.......
I "think" Cabela's sells the smaller versions of these for under $100 (about $79, I think). These have the push-button "up/down".
As long as your truss/beam/etc... can carry the additional load of the hoist and the deer.....I think it's a good idea for a LOT of people. I've thought about one, as well. I have the perfect spot for one under a covered garage.
