Jesus. I've shopped in the plumbing aisle for a gardening project, but stringing up a deer on a dump trailer is next level stuff Jrebel.
Props to you!

Tractor / trailer combo. 

I can't take credit for the deer hoist idea.  I had a buddy in camp that came up with the idea and said it was "redneck ingenuity."  It was pretty epic.

Is your bucket resting on the front of the trailer, or is it propped up?

Resting on the front of the trailer.  Even without the backhoe attachment it has to sit like this for weight distribution.  Without the backhoe, I could maybe back the tractor in and lay the bucket on the floor. 

Dump trailers do not make the best equipment trailers.  They work....but a 20-24' flatbed would be ideal.  If I want to move tractor and a couple implements, it is a two step process due the amount of room I don't have.

Copy that. I don't see loading up the tractor more than a couple/ few times a year. I do like that the MAXX-D has the rear stabilizer jacks, as I imagine it makes the process a little less sketchy.

I have loaded both with and without the jacks and they do make a difference with heavy equipment.  I have loaded the side by side without being hooked up to the truck and I feel they are a must at that point.

I throw my jack stands in whenever I need to load my excavator and use them to stabilize the back end.  I have a Big Tex 14x7 14k.  No complaints about it.  Looks pretty damn new after 5 years out in the weather.  Oh boy have prices gone up.  I think we paid $8250 for it new.
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

I think you need a bigger pickup now.  I can talk to your wife.

If you're loading equipment in there, be sure and set your parking brake and block the tires to protect your transmission.

Always block it. Ask me how I know that's necessary!
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Good piece of advice. I need to pick up a dedicated set of tire chocks.
