Did twelve deer this year like that. Only used a truck and had a couple fails. Rigging not strong enough. Go it dialed it now tho.

Never thought skinning would be that easy with alittle human ingenuity! Props to everyone that does this in some form.
Suprised the hide is actually strong enough to holdup to it.

Looks cool but seems to me like it's something you'd need to do a lot to make the build time/effort worth while.

I'll bet it wasn't very fun gutting that thing. Looks like a solid stomach shot

On the YouTube comments, he said "On a final note I did not gut shoot her. It was a quartering away heart shot.

I did a cow elk this year and have done a few deer. Tied the head to the first truck and used a rock and pulled with a second truck. You have to be careful around the ends of the legs with an elk. My suggestion is to cut around the ends of the legs first, or it can get hung up or tear the game in half.

Crazy....I like it.
If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.

What really works slick is using the using the bucket of a tractor.  Skin a bit, tie it off, and raise the bucket.  Less than 1/10th the time of this guy's hand crank.  Plus, if you tie the deer off by the head to the tractor then a quick slit is all that's needed for gutting it.  Everything falls out into a bucket.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!
