    Hey all,
    Needing ideas for a diy beef gambrel.

    I was thinking of a piece of I-beam with hooks welded on bottom and a hole on top.

    What have you or do you currently used?

    Pictures please

    knifemaker3 for hanging my moose I use two small chain hoists so that when I cut down the back bone each half stays at the same level. Otherwise when any moose is removed the heavier side goes down. This is so handy I even use it for deer

      Brianzipperdog123 that’s what I’m thinking too. Just a couple chains bolted to the front end loader with a couple hooks and done

        knifemaker3 mine would not be good for a beef it’s only rated for 450lbs. But man it’s great for deer and hogs.

            I have a $30 hand winch rigged up for hoisting deer under an awning behind my shop.
            I will never own another block and tackle again. Spend more time untangling and cussing them than actual lifting.

              cdavis I gotta ask, is there an advantage to not gutting in the field?

              twilliams I say yes for me there is. Most of my deer are harvested within 4 miles of my house. I can usually tie onto them with the 4wheeler and have them hung within 30 minutes. If I don’t open that cavity until they are hung l figure I’m keeping alot of dirt and debris out of my meat. If I have to track one or If it is exceptionally warm then I gut it right away.

                        Cdavis, I have the same hoist but mine is mounted on an ibeam trolly. Works double duty as deer hanger and Coyote skinning machine.

                                A good beef gambrel needs to be strong and at about 34" wide. I had one made and spent about $120 on it. Worth every penny. I hang it from a heavy duty chain attached to a tractor bucket.
