We had killed so many deer that we were running out of places to hang them. I'm not making this up. They were hanging in the shed and from a couple of apple trees in the yard.
Don't believe me? Check out this ghastly image...

See? I told you so. What a sight. And right in the yard no less. Dead deer hanging everywhere.
Long story short, when you're out in a deer stand with your thoughts a couple of us spend a great number of hours brainstorming a more efficient way of hanging the deer. Maybe a permanent fixture or something that rolled around on wheels. We settled upon a contraption that could be assembled and disassembled seasonally - and stored in the barn when hot in use.
A proper meat pole!
One of my pals - New Guy - sketched some plans for this complete with a list of materials. The implementation part of the plan was to acquire the materials and build the pole sometime in the summer so it would be ready and handy for deer hanging by the time deer season rolled-around.
Since November I have misplaced the plans twice. Therefore I'm posting them here in case they are misplaced again or worse case - permanently lost.
Unless the entire world wide web goes down I think the plans are safe here.
