ABSTRACT:
A hunting tool for facilitating dragging an animal carcass to a field dressing location or from the field, and for spreading open the rib cage of an animal carcass during field dressing, is comprised by a generally parallelepiped body terminating in two bifurcated ends. The body may be provided with a contoured or conformal grip to assist with manipulation, and is preferably fabricated from a high density alkane hydrocarbon polymer, such as high density or UHMW polyethylene. Adjacent each of the bifurcated ends is a rope anchor, and a rope may be anchored thereon. The rope is used to engage the carcass during transport, using the hand grip to hold and pull the animal from a convenient height. The bifurcated ends are used during dressing to spread the rib cage.
