Abstract

A slain animal transporting device has a series of elongated flexible members each having a slip knot at one end to snugly secure about any variety of body parts of a slain animal, and a user loop at an opposite end which, depending upon the terrain and thus most efficient angle of pull, directly attaches to a wrist, torso or shoulder of at least one user/sportsman. When the user loop is strapped about the wrist, the angle of pull is relatively low which is ideal for smooth terrain. When the user loop is strapped about the torso or shoulder of the sportsman, the angle of pull is greater and thus more ideal for rough terrain such as dense wooded areas. The elongated flexible members are easily coiled for compact storage thus providing easy transportation amongst the portable gear of the mobile sportsman. The straps can be arranged in parallel, enabling multiple sportsmen to drag a single slain animal, or, any number of straps can be slip knotted end-to-end to create a single and extra long transporting device. Moreover, multiple straps can be provided as a set having varying lengths and sizes to meet the demands of different wilderness terrains, and game sizes and types.
