Pictured here is Jim Ruckman with his dad and great friend after a successful hunt. Jim is one of the owners of Minerva Creek Big Game Hoists. We shoot a few deer every season to fill ours and others freezers. We are deer hunters first but if it’s a nice buck, well that is just a bonus. This particular buck was just lowered in the back of Jim’s truck after being hung up in the Ol’ Oak Tree. The amount of deer that is hung up every season is partly what led us to creating the Minerva Creek Big Game Hoists.
You see, we're not just hunters, we’re outdoorsman and conservationists. We want the tools that work: ONE, for safety, TWO, to keep the meat fresh and not contaminated during the processing & THREE, we don’t want to wonder “now what” after we get home and need to hang one or several up. The permanent infrastructure of our Minerva Creek Game Hoist is always there waiting when we get back home. This season and every season!!
