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 hunting game transport assembly for transporting hunting game out of a hunting area includes a frame that is positionable in a collapsed position to be carried into a hunting area. The frame is positionable in a deployed position when the frame is carried into the hunting area. A wheel is rotatably coupled to the frame to roll along a support surface when the frame is positioned in the deployed position. A net is coupled to the frame and hunting game is positionable on the net when the frame is positioned in the deployed position. The frame is gripped having the wheel abutting the support surface to transport the hunting game along the support surface.

A game animal processing apparatus includes a hoist having a horizontal arm and a cable. In a first operating mode, a first hook is raised vertically by pulling the cable. A second hook is located on the horizontal arm of the hoist. A game hanger includes a first hook connection that connects to the first hook such that pulling the cable vertically raises the game hanger towards the horizontal arm. A second hook connection connects to the second hook in order to hang the game hanger from the horizontal arm of the hoist. Lastly, the game hanger includes a pair of prongs that are each configured to support a portion of the game animal. The weight of the game animal may be entirely supported by the prongs when the game hanger is hung from the hoist via the second hook and second hook connection.

The present invention generally relates portable treestand for hunters which comprises a platform and a seat member wherein when the treestand if folded up for easy transport the seat interlocks to the treestand platform creating a shelf useful for carrying gear, backpacks, game, etc. In one embodiment, the platform and/or seat are each of one-piece construction fabricated from a solid aluminum/aluminum alloy workpiece, optionally by a waterjet process.

The invention also contemplates improved climbing sticks, also referred to as ladder modules, for use in climbing trees for hunting or other purposes. The module includes one or more support brackets mounted to the support member. The brackets are generally V-shaped and include a number of teeth on the interior surface of the bracket that engage the tree on which the module is placed to prevent the module from slipping on the tree. These brackets that grip the tree when climbing pivot allowing them to become flush with the body of the stick to minimize profile and to allow the sticks to nest closely together so that they can be easily carries/secured to the treestand of the invention.

The invention also contemplates the treestand of the invention coupled to the climbing sticks of the invention.

A Load Lifting System for providing a easy lift accessory which may be utilized by one person. The Load Lifting System includes a vehicle mounting assembly to selectively secure the load lifting system to the vehicle and which may include a plurality of hook members for engaging a rack mounted to the vehicle and a bumper mounting assembly for abutting a surface of a bumper of the vehicle and a load lifting assembly pivotally coupled to the vehicle mounting assembly and operationally coupleable to a winch mounted on the vehicle, additionally the load lifting assembly may include a plurality of pivotally mounted load carrying hooks for facilitating the transport of liquid and dry goods while minimizing spillage.

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.

Big-game towing hitch yoke system for use in the standard hitch receiver of a motorized vehicle, such as a UTV. Some embodiments of the invention comprise big-game towing hitch yoke systems that are collapsible for increased versatility and easy storage and transportation.

Embodiments of the present invention may provide a sealable animal carcass enclosement system perhaps including a substantially planar foldable envelope perhaps made of a vinyl coated mesh material, sealing securements along an edge of some of the sides of the substantially planar foldable envelope when in said open state; and perhaps even a plication component configured to guide overlapping closure of said substantially planar foldable envelope and matching of counterparts of said sealing securements so as to provide an enclosed packet for animal carcasses.
