I have never used a winch but had an occation last Chukar season where I would have liked to. I was stuck in a low spot and had a tree about 50 feet behind me that was on solid ground.

Has anyone used a winch that you put in your receiver? I was looking at this one that has handles where you could move it from the front receiver(where I would keep it to the rear w/o too much work--of course would have to have hook-ups at both locations.

What do you think?
