Loading Large Hogs Alone

I built one out of angle iron and just put a winch on top. Secured it to bumper. I run a hitch haul on my truck so when I get it up about 3’ it will rotate the animal to the rack.

Quarter where they drop, put quarters in meat bags, then into framed pack. Why even bother moving a large pig or even a small pig back home to quarter? A big plus to doing it in the woods is you just leave the carcass and guts right there instead of having to haul it to a residential dirt road and dump it by someone’s house... wait, I mean dispose of it properly. Haha

I line the inside of my pack with a heavy duty trash bag folding the top of the bag over the outside of the pack. Then debone the whole animal and drop the meat in the bag. Fold the bag up inside the top of the pack and zip it up. 30-40 minutes after the critter hits the ground i am on my way to the truck leaving all the mess in the woods and only carrying around a 1/3 of the total weight of the animal. Been doing this for over 45 years. Most places I hunt now the whole carcass left in the woods will be gone the next day.

I ride solo all the time. Thus.....hook a rack on atv. Hitch hauler in ranch hand. First two pics are of nothing but 280# of pure dead weight. I also use the game racks shown above that go in rear hitch and swivel.

I just find a strong limb and toss a rope over it. Tie one end to the back of my truck and the other end to the hogs foot. Pull my truck up enough to get the hog up in the air. Untie rope from truck and tie it to the tree while keeping the hog hanging. Back truck bed underneath hog and cut the rope. E z p z.

Just scoop em up and dump in the truck.

Tie a rope around hog. Throw it over a limb. Hook to 4 wheeler or truck. Tie second rope around hog, pull hog way up into the air with first rope. Tie off second rope. Back up, untie first rope, get under the hog, cut second rope. Drive home.

i built this hog hanger. It swivels for loading into truck. It's been tested with 450 pound elk.

That method works very well. I have loaded a few in the back of my Polaris Ranger using that method..

I made a crude one out of square tubing and the hitch from a bike rack. Doesn’t swivel, but it works to get the animal up for skinning. My buddy likes to clean deer and pig while hanging them.
I’m doing the field quartering method myself…..I’m only dragging my quarry far enough to find a place to to work on it.
I do have a hand winch in my truck in case of emergency and would use it if necessary.
I think you’ll love that one from tractor supply!

Take a blade to them. You can have one quartered out in less than 10 minutes. Why drag or load a whole hog ? You have to skin and gut them anyway, no use dragging waste unless you need to get it out of a field or something. Don't ruin your back for a stinking hog.

This was real good until he got to the tailgate breaking down the hams and shoulders. I personally wouldn't be rubbing the meat side down all over the tailgate like that.

I use help, or the Kubota, and if those are not handy. I use my small trailer and drag then up the ramp. And I drag with my buggy, to get them to the truck or trailer.

Got tired of hassling around loading deer and hogs. One day i made this hog loader from scrap and a winch that was laying around.
