Maybe they quit making them. Be a shame if they did.

Check with Cumberlands or Schmitt's. I'd bet they'd have them.

I did. They don't.

You can google them and still find them in stock a couple random trapping supply places though...

I love the one I use. A bar with chains on ends and a simple stainless ring on end of each chain for slipping the chain back through to cinch down on the ankles. Works for coyotes, coon, cats, anything furbearing that I知 skinning. Fast and easy to use.

I got it at local Scheels. Might be a winkler model.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

That's what I have. I can't speak for yotes yet (unfortunately), but it works perfectly well for coons.

Never trusted those dog chain gambrels with my skinning machine. Some of the big cold coons and coyotes pull really hard.

I use a swiveling gambrel that hooks through the tendons since it's how I learned to do it. People who don't open their coons the right way will damage the tendons and struggle with this style but I almost never any problems. That's why I said RTS Speed Gambrel because it works regardless how you open them.

Only picture I can find of the one I use without taking a new one...

I would agree if I was using a machine.

But alas, I hand pull mine like an idiot.



I will say, the one you posted does seem really nice ACD.

I am getting an electric hoist soon. Might need to figure out a way to have clamps without drilling into the floor.

Many options for that. A free standing machine or wall mounted machines (what I use.) were popular choices when I built them.

I知 having a little trouble sourcing the plates at a reasonable price. Might have it figured out soon. Hope to have them back in production soon.
