Game butchering station

Any suggestion for build some kind of "A" frame for hanging and skinning game. Going to Wyoming hoping to have antelope hanging from it three weeks from today.

I went with a reciever hitch mounted one. Had a guy build it for cheaper than I can buy it at Cabelas, but even at their cost I think its a pretty good deal. Here's the one from Cabelas

They also make an a-frame style.

Same here. I had it made. It is in two pieces so I can take it apart for storage. It is able to swing/rotate and I have a pin to lock it in place to keep it from rotating.

Here is our setup from our WY hunt last year. Lodgepoles and tie wire and rope to hold it together.

Sweet setup mtlion. Nice options here for you.

Here's the one I bought. I like how it has a support leg to the ground and how it swivels to lower game onto tailgate. Hope to try it out in WY in a month as well.

We built one as well. We have an electric winch that fits into the bottom tube. Works awesome. Very nice for in WY where there is little hang things from.

Below is a video of the hanger in action.

I guess I must be missing something. I don't know why you would need one of these especially, on pronghorn. I always try to get them boned out and in the cooler on ice as soon as pictures are done. I do the gutless method on them and can be done in less than 30minutes. On pronghorn I believe that the sooner you get the meat cooled the better they taste.
