Product Under Review: Huntin' Hoist
Review Conducted By: Jim Coursey
Dates Review was conducted: 10-02-04

Opening weekend of the Texas archery season and I find myself multi tasking myself out to a variety of duties. On top of trying to hunt and film, we were trying a few new products on for size. One of these products was the Hunters Hoist made by Doyle’s Deer Gear.

A fairly easy to understand product, the Hunters Hoist is a retractable hoisting system design to help you in getting your gear into the stand with not only safety in mind but also with less hassle of having to leave a rope at your stand for just such an occasion. 

Using the Huntin' Hoist was extremely easy and convenient. You simply loop the nylon rope on your gear and climb up your stand. The Hunters Hoist let’s out string as you climb with ease. Upon sitting down into your stand and getting situated you simply grab the nylon rope and proceed to pull up your gear. Now here is where I love this product. As you pull your gear up it simply retracts back into the cover. Folks it’s just that simple.

The quality of the product was not without thought as the rope is a strong nylon and is 30 feet in length. The hoist itself is a durable plastic that can take a few hits here and there. The belt clasp was probably one of the most noticeable as it was extremely durable. The clip design is in such a way that makes it almost cling to your belt. Once it’s on, it’s not coming off unless you pull it off.

For those that wish to see the product in action, here is a clip of us using it opening weekend to get our gear into the stands. Click on the image below. 

You can find this great product by going to www.huntinhoist.com. The Hunters Hoist sell for $30.00 and we believe it’s a steal for that price. Good job Doyle’s Deer Gear, we’ve been waiting for a product like this one.

Huntin Hoist: 5 STARS *****

Pros: Durable, dependable, tough nylon rope, price.. 

Cons: No cons on this product. It was everything that it advertised to be. We will be using the Hunters Hoist for years to come. 

Comments On Improvement: Maybe in the future there will be a way to work on something a bit smaller. That would be my only suggestion.
