ABSTRACT:
A portable game animal storage unit, particularly adapted for use in storing, transporting and preserving game animals, is defined by an enclosure sized to house a harvested game animal. For instance, for deer hunting, the enclosure is designed to be approximately eight (8) feet tall, three (3) feet wide and two (2) feet deep. At least one of the panels is provided with a reclosable opening for accessing an internal cavity of the enclosure in order to place the harvested animal within the enclosure and to remove the animal therefrom. Various handles are provided externally of the enclosure for use in carrying the storage unit between desired locations. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the storage unit is defined by a pliable bag which can be refrigerated in order to maintain the meat of the animal within a desired temperature range for aging and preservation purposes. A fine screen mesh is used to form part of the bag when enhanced ventilation is desired. In a further embodiment, the storage unit takes the form of a cooler which is molded of plastic and includes a pivotable access door. In any case, the storage unit has attached thereto a supporting assembly which enables a game animal to be mounted within the storage unit, while also enabling the storage unit to be suspended from another support in a manner which prevents the weight of the animal from being borne by the enclosure defining structure of the storage unit itself.
