Abstract: A portable animal hoist (10) comprises the vertical member (12). The member holder (12B) is securely attached to the top end of the vertical member (12) on one distal end. The opposite distal end of the member holder (12B) is wrapped around the tree (30) and securely fastened with the removable fastening device to the top of the vertical member (12) by the vertical member horizontal bracket (12A). The member holder (12B) functions to removably support the portable animal hoist (10) on the verticle member. A top cross member (14T) is securely attached perpendicularly to the top end of the vertical member (12). The bottom cross member (14B) securely attached at the bottom end of the vertical member (12) and positioned perpendicularly thereto. A horizontal member (16) is pivotally connected at the back distal end by the first fastener (28) to the top end of the vertical member (12) extending perpendicularly therefrom.
