  • Patent number: 5029921
    Abstract: An improved deer hauling device (10) is described. The hauling device includes a handle (12) preferably in the form of an elongated ellipse, secured to one end of an intermediate shank (11), and a spaced apart hook (13) formed from the other end of the shank. The shank is positioned offset from the short axis (a--a) of the handle which bisects the sides (12c, 12d) of the handle so that the apex of the V-shaped hook is centered on the short axis of the handle. This construction helps to distribute the dragging weight evenly across the hunter's palm by preventing the game from sliding along the hook.
