do a google search and you can find em for around $100. I would bet you cant get one made and buy all the pieces much cheaper than that

$89.99 for the first one I came across online. I wouldn't mind having one myself.

searching online would probably be best unless you know someone that would do the labor for free/cheap, gotta buy all the parts etc then labor I would charge every bit of 150$ maybe more to fab one up.

If you do have one made make sure to have it far enough away from the truck to open the tailgate so you can have a work table. And also have a leg that comes out of bottom (adjustable in height)to support and steady the hoist.

That's what I'm thinking. Especially if you want it painted out like the ones you buy.

thats where mass production comes into play as an advantage...especially if you find one for 100$ price range

I made one once. Wasn't cheap except for I used the scraps I had around the shop. To buy the stuff for one or two would be a lot of money.

If I were making one, I would make it more than 6'-6" tall. That height would barely get the Deer off the ground.

I have a wench, rope and pulley system to lift a deer. All I need is a tree limb and something to anchor the wench [mounted on a 2x4] to. Used it once this year and it worked great.
