1. A fence post puller device for extracting a fence post from a ground surface, the device comprising: a bottle jack with a bottle jack base and a saddle portion secured to a distal end of an extendable piston ram; the bottle jack base secured on top of a jack platform, the jack platform extending outwardly from bottle jack base in all directions to support the post puller device on the ground surface; an elongated hoist arm extending upward and away from the ground surface comprising a bottom hoist end connected to the distal end of the extendable piston ram and a top hoist end, the top hoist end comprising a hoist arm notch, the bottom hoist end of the hoist arm comprising an integral pair of bracket arms spaced apart by a cutout that mimics the shape of the saddle portion and distal end of the extendable piston ram to permit the saddle portion and distal end of the extendable piston ram to mount therebetween; a first strap clip connected to the pair of bracket arms on a first side of the hoist arm to secure the extendable piston ram in the cutout of the hoist arm; a second strap clip connected to the pair of bracket arms on a second side of the hoist arm to secure the hoist arm to secure the extendable piston ram in the cutout of the hoist arm; wherein the first strap clip and the second strap clip work in concert to provide a rigid mounting connection of the saddle portion and the extendable piston ram inside the cutout of the hoist arm; a removable lift plate comprising a fence post hole and a lift hole; the fence post hole being shaped to engage a fence post at an angle and the lift hole being shaped to attach to the hoist arm notch on the hoist arm at the angle.
