I have a welder, and the talent to build anything I want, but sometimes I can buy something ready made cheaper than I could buy the materials to build it! :dunno:

Sounds like you should buy a ready made then. As for me, I like the fact of relying on one build stout enough for adding an extension and hoisting an elk with no worries of failure. :twocents:

Sorry if I gave the impression that I'm in the market for such a thing--I'm not. However, if I was, I think I would weld an old-style bumper jack onto the vertical piece to put the majority of the weight on the ground, and less on the receiver hitch/truck. That's a lot of weight to be hanging so far behind the rear axle.

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.

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 (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.

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