If you are strong enough, you don't need the little block and tackle rig. But just remember, if you nail a 250-300 pound buck like they have around here, lifting that buck off the ground is far from easy. Having it lifted does make life easier though doing it on the ground is still easy enough. But this will help keep the inside cleaner and if the area is snowy or muddy it sure makes things cleaner. And CI's "bung out" method works very well. I thought the old man had a patent on that method CI.
