Emilio, you should look for one of those bucket boom trucks that lineman use, they sell them up here on some truck lots, just climb in the bucket, on hit the controls to go up! No assembly required!

RE: Deer transport?
I used to take a dodge Caravan hunting...I'd take out the rear seat so I had plenty of room for a deer, then I'd line it with a HEAVY DUTY water proof tarp. I removed some of the internal trim pieces so I could tuck the tarp underneath so it would stay in place and seal up better. I also sprayed the tarp with a aerosol sealant. I could hose out the back of my van without even getting the carpet wet (run the hose in through the side door, kneel on the middle seat and spray).
A buddy of mine had an SUV back when we were in high school, he removed the rear seats, laid down a tarp, then put a kiddy pool in the back that the deer sat in. The pool caught almost everything, and the tarp caught any splatter etc that would make it out of the pool.

I have used a Chrysler Town and Country minivan in the past for deer hunting. I leave the rearmost bench seat in the garage. I take a cheap blue plastic tarp along. I lay the tarp out in the open rear compartment of the minivan and hoist the deer carcass onto this tarp. I do the same thing with my Chevrolet Suburban which has now replaced the minivan. When I am done I throw the tarp away. If you were really thrifty you might try to wash off the blood and reuse the tarp, but this seemed like a very difficult task, and I was not convinced that all the blood would come out.

Ok, so inside or out seems to make no difference. Still, is there any real issue with ticks? If not careful, can they hang out in your auto? My concern is not only for me, but for my family (wife & 2 kids). Do you keep a can of bug spray (with the deet) on hand?

I have used my suv for several years. I just buy a cheap 8x10 tarp and put in the back. It has worked well for me. after season just rinse it off with a water hose or chunk it and buy anew one next season.
