This product is relatively easy to assemble, but the instructions were a little confusing the first read through, so read them carefully. In use, the hoist worked perfectly and easily. It breaks down for easy transport. I used it for antelope hunting the week after I received it mounted on my truck's receiver hitch. There is plenty of cable to reach an animal that isn't directly under the hoist. The winch was more than strong enough for the doe I shot. The feature that prevents the animal from spinning around while working on it was great. I have used other hoists that do not do that, which can be kind of like working on a moving target. The support foot that goes down to the ground isn't really necessary for an animal as light as a Pronghorn, but I will use it for an upcoming late season cow elk hunt should I get lucky and harvest one. I will see then if the hoist is tall enough to at least get most of the animal off the ground, and it looks like the winch will be strong enough at least for the weight of a field dressed cow. I have been big game hunting for 50 years, and anything like this hoist that makes it easier as I get older is much appreciated.
