Patented!
Yes, the patent issued on the Hogue Singletree in May '08. The patent on this gambrel proves that most anything can be improved on and advanced, even something as common as a gambrel.
Benefits of The Hogue Singletree:
- You can hang entire animal (or one quarter) on a single hook without it falling off- never drop an animal or a hind quarter in the dirt again!
- The animal will stay in position on the gambrel hooks. The hooks cannot be forced through the leg nor will the animal fall off- the hooks float with the angle the animal is hanging!
- You can hang the deer by the Achilles' tendon at the ankle and get the gambrel completely out of the way of the skinning process. All other gambrels require hanging the animal at the knee, right in the way, where the skinning process begins!
- The wide adjustability of the spreader bar lets you spread the hind legs abundantly to aid splitting the pelvic bone, evisceration, or especially if you split the carcass in half down the backbone.
- You need a slice no bigger than an average pocket knife to insert hooks. There's no need for a huge hole like what's required for most gambrels.
- The animal's legs can be spread with the adjustable spreader bar after inserting hanger hooks through the legs. This makes it easier when you're alone or the animal is already stiff.
- The Hogue Singletree is required with the Hogue Skinning System, the next really big thing!!
