I have a hard top tonneau so doing this in the stake pockets dont work.. plus i would need to crawl in there to crank it..

I've not yet had the privilege myself, but seems like a lot of good ideas here. Just make sure you have one option ready to go before ya need it, hehe.
also I have a 2"x2" angle iron across the front of the box bolted to the frame with a hook in the center for a 2000lb winch to hook too.
but mostly I use the come-along, good old had tools never let me down. that is why the hand winch on the hoist. less to go wrong.
No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.

You can cut a moose carcass into 8 pieces with a good pocket knife.
edge jager...i operate the same...just a knife..
if close to my truck i also use my razor sharp axe
hinds move fronts move backstraps in pack..
get secure and cooling go back for neck and rib...
normally on way back i come in up wind and above and glass for visitors..black bear will just shoot if its cubless...gbear i return to camp...
peeing in a circle around helps..
elk i have left where they fell at last light and gone for back up then come back for processing...
left one elk over night in a blizzard as i couldnt find innthe failing light..not the best way to have goood table fair....fast cooling is number one priority.
We use a front mounted winch and a utility trailer. Truck has a receiver mounted in the front bumper so that the trailer is in front. Since the front receiver is higher than the rear, it puts the trailer at an angle and with the gate of the trailer acting as a ramp, the winch pulls the moose in like nothing. Last years moose took 5 minutes to load including swapping the trailer from back to front and back after it was in. Been doing this for our hunting group for the last 25 years. Getting the moose to the road if it's farther away is a different situation though. That will always involve quartering and packing, either manually or on quads. Depends on regs in the area we're hunting in.
