Hang your Big Game Quarters with ease!

From the makers of the Top Hand Hunting Tripod

Watch for a new video coming soon to reflect the new modifications of this great product!

This is a new product that has made it through it's development seasons. We were able to use these multiple times and have made necessary improvements to make these the most efficient and effective way to temporarily store and leave game meat either at a kill site or at your camp. We believe these would be a great addition to your kill kit to simplify the meat hanging process when there is a tree branch or meat pole available. 

The hangers are made in a high-vis color with reflective stripe. Each hanger also comes with line marks for setting the quarter hoop for a low-mid-high branch or pole. This takes the guess work out of where to set the hoop to hang the quarter at a desired height. The marks are in easy to align increments for limbs or poles 4 to 8 feet high. The X-loc™ has been improved for easier setting with a simple and quick process. With these hangers there's no more need to tie off anything. The hoop simply hooks around the bottom of the quarter or meat bag. Also, you can use the hanger to hold a loaded pack with the hoop around the bottom of the pack, then simply put the pack on, unhook the hoop from the bottom of your pack and walk away. You'd then gather up the remaining loose hanger and tuck it in a pocket. No more rolling around on the ground trying to get your loaded pack on by yourself!!

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 or cutting up that brand new hank of paracord only to end up with a bunch of odd length chunks of tangled up frayed cord in your pack. Our simple to use X-Loc™ adjustable hoop paracord kits let you easily hang animal quarters or meat bags from a meat pole or tree branch even higher than you can half hitch onto.

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 more 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 3 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. If in open country with no trees around you can set up the tripod and hang up to 3 elk quarters from it while you pack out the 4th on your initial return to your camp. You'd use the meat hangers to do this over the head of the tripod. And if you have a small tarp you can use the tripod to create shade while you are hustling meat to a better location. 

• 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 human scent dissipates. Just hike a quarter as far as you can, but instead of resting you can recover on the return trip. Just be sure to mark that spot! Before you know it you've moved everything a good distance by yourself. 
  

• 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 (Glad Wrap) compared with using game bags. The wrap seals the fresh meat smell and has proven to us many times that scavengers don't find it. Plus it cools at the same rate as any game bag.
