Skinning stand upgrade

<< < (4/7) > >>

Eric Krewson:
In cold weather do you hang multiple deer on your rack at one time to age them?

I have had friends whose family killed a lot of deer, one ended up with a dedicated skinning shed complete with a walk-in cooler and meat processing area, another had a mini butcher shop set up in his garage. After a successful hunt the hunters would form a processing line with each guy doing a part of the process, they could cut, wrap and have a deer in the freezer in a short period of time.

No.  We cut them into quarters and age them in empty refrigerators.  With this set up we will have the ability to skin 2 at one time now. 

osage outlaw:
I got the concrete poured in the holes today.  They are 30" deep.  I was getting ready to start and realized I don't own a hoe.  I had to improvise a quick solution.  It actually worked pretty well. 



I spent the the rest of the day cutting the deck pieces to length.  That was a job wrestling them around.  My chop saw died with 4 cuts left.  I had to use an angle grinder with a cut off disc. 



A storm moved in right as I was ready to start assembling the deck.  I called it a day and went to the garage.  I made this to bolt onto the stand.  That way 100 years from now someone will know who and when it was built.

Wow

You must kill lots of whitetails for that set up. I know cattle ranches all over out west that dont even have somethin like that.

American steel is king however. Hope to see a big selfbow whitetail hanging from it.

Looking good Clint, nothing like a good place to skin deer. A roof would be nice also. ;) :)
