And a $150 winch from HF will make it even easier.

You must of heard about all those monster spikes(I mean cull bucks) I'm gonna kill.

Depending on how many people are hunting on the property, I would make it big enough to clean at least 2 deer. Also, if you have any manufacturers of pole barn trusses see if they can just build you a 10’ set of trusses or buy a 12’ set of lean to trusses. If you don’t have water I would consider a gutter system run to an elevated 55 gallon drum with gravity feed.

I would close in 3 sides and leave the south side open. Help keep the north wind off

2nd being able to hang at least 2 and closing in 3 sides.
We have one decent hanging setup in my dad’s tractor shed and one make-do hanging setup. We’ve had to use the crappy setup too often.
A skinning shed is a great part of deer hunting. Spent a lot of quality time with my dad and my bro in ours over the years.

If you have a creek close by look up a water ram pump. It’s amazing at the water they can pump. If you have access to a good spring close by you could easily run a camper or the skinning shed off of one.

Paint it white to keep light out to cut down on algae growth in warm weather.

If pouring concrete is not possible, use the 18x18 blocks used under ac units
