Topknot Meat Hanging Kit
Topknot Meat Hanging Kit
Hang your Big Game Quarters with ease!
From the makers of the Top Hand Hunting Tripod
This is a brand new product we just developed. It has made it through it's first test season and we were able to use these multiple times last fall. We believe these would be a great addition to your kill kit to simplify the meat hanging process.
So your tag is punched and the quartering process is complete - Now begins the hunt for the perfect quarter hanging tree before the hike out. Digging around in your pack, cutting up rope, and tying knots (often done in the dark) is the last "finished" step in parting out big game.
That's where the Topknot Quarter Hanging Kit comes in handy! No more truckers hitches and granny knots eight feet up on your toes and cutting up that brand new hank of paracord. Our simple to use X-Loc™ adjustable loop pre made paracord kit lets you easily hang animal quarters from a meat pole or tree branch higher than you can half hitch onto.
If you hunt solo these work great to hoist your meat filled pack up and suspend it while you put in on. Then you simply pull the rope back over the tree brach and walk away. No more having to try and get that heavy loaded pack on from the ground!
Meat Storage Suggestions
- Even if you don't have a tree nearby to hang meat from we recommend you get the meat off the ground some using logs or brush to allow air to contact all outer surfaces. No matter what it's wrapped up in, it will cool the quickest being off the ground.
- When it's possible to hang game meat we recommend at least 4 feet off the ground. Moving your quarters away from the carcass and leaving a garment like a mid layer shirt next to your game meat will deter the critters until you get back.
-
Most black bears and other scavengers will not tolerate any human scent for a night or two but you'd best act quick if you have a lot of bear, fox or pine marten around.
- Moving the meat in shorter phases can be the best option as it means less chance for any critters to find it until your scent dissipates.
- If leaving for longer time, protect it from birds by placing pine bows or brush over the meat, this will add shade as well. And always leave a garment.
-
Also, in early season if you hang the meat up off the ground the flies seem to leave it alone compared to leaving it on the ground, this goes with using meat wrap compared with using game bags.
