    I just took off my tailgate and used it as a ramp to drag the deer up. Work if you have a ****ty truck! Will have to do something different next year tho. I've heard of guys keeping an small sheet of plywood on the truck for a ramp.

    That was pretty slick. Needs more gunpowder and cold cream for Macgyver, though. :lol:

    My brother made a lift that hooks into the receiver on his truck from a garage door opener so he even had the remote. Granted the lift was created to hoist a beer bong, but the concept is the same.

    Pretty cool, I use 2-2x8's with a 1x4 screwed in to the back of the 2x8's to hold them together and keep them from sliding into the box of the truck gambrel hook and a come along the deer slides up the 2x8's into the box.
