Minerva Creek builds durable deer hoist and big game hoisting systems designed to improve the way hunters lift, hang, and process game. From compact Solo hoists to multi-position Gallows systems, every product is built to make post-harvest work safer, more controlled, and more efficient.
Whether you process one deer a season or handle multiple animals during busy weekends, the right hoist system helps you move from “making do” to having a setup you can rely on every time.

More Than a Way to Hang Game
A deer hoist isn’t just about lifting—it’s about improving the entire processing experience.
With the right setup, you can:
- Lift deer safely by yourself
- Maintain the right working height
- Skin and process more efficiently
- Keep your work area cleaner and more organized
Minerva Creek systems are designed to support everything from initial lift to final processing.
Why Hunters Upgrade from “Making Do”
Most hunters already have a way to hang a deer:
- Rope over a tree limb
- Tractor bucket
- Garage winch
- Gambrel and pulley
These setups work—but they come with tradeoffs.
Common limitations:
- Unstable lifting points
- Poor working height
- More physical strain
- Slower processing
A purpose-built hoist system replaces guesswork with control, consistency, and safety.
Built for Strength, Safety, and Long-Term Use
- Up to 2,000 lb total weight capacity across hoist systems
- Multiple hanging positions for multi-animal processing
- Built-in support for skinning and processing
- Compatible with different installation environments
- Designed and fabricated in the United States
