Are there any hoist gambrels that attach to your hitch sturdy and high enough for a nilgai? At my old lease the landowner had a tractor there we would use for that. Got on a new lease this year but doesn't have a good camp area setup with skinning rack or anything..

Most of the manufactured hoists I've seen are light duty and won't be able to handle a 600 lb animal. My buddy has one that was suppose to be rated for 400 lbs and we bent it on a 300 lb pig. I ended up building one myself.

Our stags are a similar size to Nilgai. We just use a tree branch at the height we like and throw a rope and a gambrel over it. Been using the same post oak limb for almost 20 years and it has handled stags over 500lbs.

You could build one very easily. I’d find a friend that welded and buy him a case of beer bring supplies and done.
If you don’t know anyone that will do it I bet a local high school welding class would do it.
