ABSTRACT:
A harness fits the head of an animal carcass for dragging the carcass with a tether line. The harness has an elongated connector coupled to a longitudinal adjustment strap, and a length of flexible strap coupled in a figure eight with a sliding connection at its central crossing, thereby forming first and second loops. A ring or other pull fitting for the tether line is attached to an end of the connector member adjacent to a sliding connection with the flexible strap at the front, and the longitudinal adjustment strap is coupled between the connector member and a sliding connection with the flexible strap at the rear. The first loop fits around the snout of a carcass such as a deer. The second loop includes a length adjustment between opposite ends of the flexible strap, which adjusts the circumference of both loops due to the sliding connection at the central crossing. The second loop is fitted around neck of the carcass and optionally also the front legs. The longitudinal adjustment strap spaces the loops longitudinally to conform to the length of the head and the length adjustment in the second loop allows the first and second loop to be cinched tight.
