we built our own, did two lopers at a time a few times on this trip! It comes apart and fits in the back of the truck. We hung 13 lopers from it this trip.



How would you reccomend taking the meat home? DId you buy doe tags too? I am going to Wy and am trying to figure out how to get meat home, and trouble shoot the trip

we brought a freezer with us and filled it full of antelope, as soon as we shot an animal, gut and skin it so it can cool, when you get back to the hotel, bone and pack it in the freezer. Our animals were great tasting. Yes, we got alot of does too.

I used large coolers with dry ice. It worked pretty good, but dry ice is also expensive. I bought 2.5 gallon and 5 gallon ziplock bags that worked really nice.

I also like the idea of a portable freezer. You can wire one to hook up to a cigarette lighter, electrical outlet, battery, etc. Make sure it is small enough to be able to maneuver it into a hotel if you are going with that option. Look at putting a lock on it.

Our group shot lots of does as well. There is actually quite a bit of meat on antelope and I think the taste is fantastic. If you got some questions or need some ideas for gear needed, you can PM me.

I ended up buying the Foreverlast Tripod Game Hoist.  http://www.foreverlastonline.com/Game-Hanger-Portable-Tripod_p_16.html I wanted more portability and the option to set it up anywhere, particularly under a tarp, overhang or backyard.

If you have the money for a YETI cooler, that might be another option.

by freezer Im talking a small 5' chest freezer like you would put in your garage, we wired my 12' cargo trailer for a plug in and the hotel let us plug the freezer in there the whole week we were there. Worked out pretty good.

Our processing setup at the hotel, the freezer is in the front of the white cargo trailer,
