Thanks guys, to answer a few questions, It works great even on cold coyotes. Cold coons are just as easy as warm ones. Yes, I've done a few hundred coons on it but within 10 I had the complete hang of it. On the choker style gambrel it would work but the winch pulls hard so it best be heavy duty. I use a loop of 3/32 snare cable if a tendon breaks. That hooked knife has done 400+ critters this season and is still on side one of the first blade. It doesn't rip the hide. I weld 3 pieces of 1/2" rebar about 3" long to the grips. The winch is from harbor freight... http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=44006Here's the direct link to how its made... http://jayme220.proboards53.com/index.cgi?board=archive6&action=display&thread=1187482361otterman53 - I'm not sure, but if you figure out how you are welcome to them. ~ADC~

could you do another one focusing around the head? I just noticed when the video comes up you can click "full screen" then maximize the window. It makes it alot bigger and easier to see just what I'm doing. ~ADC~

Great post ADC, and them things are great to peel the hides off of cold coyotes, I got to use one this year and it was awesome!

That's all I use Is cable slip nooses. I open 10 or so coon I place a cable loop on them before I hang them It's fast and very effient. I use a bigger loop and slide it up over the tail and as much skirt fur as I can, I attach the other end of the loop to a single hook on the mast and pull. I have never torn a hide.
