Abstract
The game hanger apparatus is attachable to a tow hitch of a pickup truck. The folded game hanger can be taken to the site in the bed of the truck and speedily installed in the tow hitch for hanging, cleaning and butchering large game, such as deer and small bears. The apparatus comprises a mast and fixed boom of square cross-section, and having a winch, pulleys and a gambrel with a pair of end hooks and a pair of pins which engage a jib at the end of the boom to prevent the game from twisting. The horizontal bottom and top bars are locked in place by removable pins for operation, and unlocked by removing the pins for folding the unit for storage. The bottom bar is inserted into a tow hitch and locked in place with the hitch pin.
