ABSTRACT:
An elliptical body member formed of a curved bar has an intermediate portion and end portions and has a cut-out therein forming a transverse opening so that the body member can be moved down over a log while disposed crosswise thereto. The intermediate portion and one of the end portions of the body member are substantially in straight line alignment with each other but the other end portion of the body member is curved forwardly in a spiral relation. The body member at the curved end portion has an integral eye thereon to which a pulling line can be connected. Since the eye for the connecting line is at the curved end, the body member will be positioned obliquely relative to the log and bind itself thereon. A rearwardly extending barb is provided on the other end of the body member and penetrates the log when the body member extends in oblique relation to the log. The body member has a gripping handle at approximately the center of gravity between the ends for manual manipulation.
