A utility vehicle having a collapsible game hanger apparatus includes a cargo box, a hitch receiver disposed under the cargo box and included in a rear structure, a hoist structure, a winch device, and a winch mounting bracket. The hoist structure consists of a base bar detachably attached to the hitch receiver, a mast attached to an end portion of the base bar, and a boom attached to an upper end of the mast. The winch device consists essentially of a winch detachably attached to a winch mounting bracket and a pulley unit for guiding the winch cable.

A portable game hoist assembly includes a plurality of modular sections that is each removably coupled together to define a stand that extends vertically from a support surface. The stand has a height at least 8.0 feet to facilitate a deer or other similarly sized animal to be suspended beneath the stand for butchering. A winch is rotatably coupled to a respective one of the modular sections and a pulley is coupled to a respective one of the modular sections. The pulley is spaced upwardly from the support surface when the stand is assembled. A cable is wrapped around the winch and the cable extends around the pulley. A distal end of the cable can lift the game when the winch is rotated in the first direction. A lighting unit is coupled to the modular sections to illuminate the game for butchering.

A method and apparatus for use in the field processing of downed big game animals, without removing the entrails of the animal. The procedure may be implemented by one or more persons with the use of a multi-purpose tool that is portable, relatively light weight and suitable to fit into or on to a backpack when collapsed. The multi-purpose tool has features making it suitable for various outdoor activities; but it is especially adapted to form a sturdy tripod stand having telescoping legs and a rope locking mechanism on its head. When assembled as a tripod stand, rope is used to temporarily lift and hold each leg of the animal individually until each quarter and portion is skinned and removed from the carcass in the field.

The rescue rig is preferably made of a nylon material, however other materials are hereby contemplated, including, but not limited to, Kevlar, Nomex, Dyneema, etc. The rescue rig has a main strap, torso portion, a head portion and a rescuer portion.

A turkey call device is disclosed in this invention. The turkey call device includes a striker that has a wedge-shape taper ending in a flat striking tip and a counter-balancer. The tip is made of a harder material than some of the materials in rest of the striker. The combination of elements enables this turkey call device to be easier to use and produce more consistent turkey-like sounds than conventional turkey call devices in the market today.

A waterfowl capturing assembly and system includes a bracket is removably attachable to a watercraft. A frame is attached to the bracket and extends forwardly therefrom. The frame includes a receiving space having a receiving opening directed forward of the base. A panel is positioned on the frame and forms a scoop extending across the receiving space. The panel is used to capture and hold waterfowl floating on a body of water such that the watercraft can be used to retrieve the waterfowl.

A multi-functional wild game tote that functions not only as a lightweight, convenient and compact carrier for one or more game animals such as birds, small mammals and fish harvested in the wild, but also as a multi-purpose tool having numerous interchangeable hunting tools useful when hunting wild game, especially wild turkeys. The carrier function of the wild game tote is provided by an ergonomically designed, elongate, rigid handle member having opposite ends and one or more cords extending through the handle member for carrying the harvested game. The multi-purpose tool function of the wild game tote is provided by hunting tools that are detachably mounted on both ends of the handle member such as a scale for weighing the harvested game, or a blade-sharpening stone for sharpening a hunter's knife. The tote also has hash markings on the handle member that denote the measurement of length.

A vehicle winch game loader. The device includes a central support including a first pulley connected to an upper end thereof. A rear support is connected to the upper end of the central support. A front support includes a rear end connected to a lower end of the central support and a front end having a second pulley connected thereto. The front support extends in a direction opposite the rear support. A crossbar is connected to the lower end of the central support, wherein the crossbar is oriented perpendicular to the front support. A rear end of the rear support is configured to frictionally engage a rear end of a vehicle when the crossbar and the front support are supported on an upper surface of a front end of the vehicle. The device may be utilized to load game or other objects onto the vehicle using the vehicle's winch.
