Abstract: A game cart for hauling or carrying a large game animal is collapsible between a deployed position and a collapsed position. The game cart includes an extension member moveably connected with a frame. The extension member rotates about a pivot axis to collapse first and second legs inwardly towards the frame. First and second wheels may be removed from operational stub axles on the first and second legs and may be stored on storage stub axles attached to the extension member. When the game cart is collapsed, the wheels are carried by the extension member so as to allow the entire cart to be carried by a strap. After the cart is carried by a hunter to a remote location, the cart is deployed by reversing the steps of collapsing the cart. The cart carries a hunted large game animal, after a hunt, from a remote location in the wilderness.
