Claim:
A multi-animal hoisting system for use with an existing all-terrain vehicle such that a user is able to easily load and unload a first animal from the existing all-terrain vehicle while skinning a second animal supported by the existing all-terrain vehicle, said multi-animal hoisting system comprising: a first hoisting section adapted to be coupled to a rear section of the existing all-terrain vehicle for loading and unloading a first animal from the all-terrain vehicle respectively; and a second hoisting section adapted to be coupled to a front section of the existing all-terrain vehicle for suspending a second animal at a desired height above a ground surface; wherein said first and second hoisting sections are simultaneously operable such that the first and second animals are contemporaneously maintained at substantially stable positions respectively; and wherein said first hoisting section comprises: a first sleeve oriented along a vertical axis and being statically maintained at a fixed spatial distance from said second hoisting section; a first rectilinear shaft rotatably seated within said first sleeve and extending upwardly therefrom along the vertical axis; a second sleeve statically coupled to a top end of said first shaft, said second sleeve being angularly offset from the vertical axis such that axially opposed ends of said second sleeve are disposed below and above said top end of said first shaft respectively; a second rectilinear shaft removably interfitted within said second sleeve and extending parallel thereto; and a third rectilinear shaft directly mated to said second shaft and being angularly offset therefrom such that said third shaft is aligned with a horizontal axis registered orthogonal to the vertical axis.
