Abstract: An animal capture and restraint device to be mounted on and to be fully supported by a vehicle. The device has supports which allow for easy mounting on the vehicle. The body of the vehicle is protected by a body guard mounted on the supports with a portion being pivotal to enable full use of the vehicle doors. A main gate is formed of several pivoted members that form an animal capturing area and is pivotally mounted to the vehicle body guard. An arch is also pivoted to the body guard and when in the operational position supports the main gate. The arch is further supported by a guy and tie bar connected to the vehicle frame. At the forward end is a head gate or stanchion to encircle the animals neck to restrain or hold it securely. A first hydraulic cylinder is used to control the movement of the arch and a second hydraulic cylinder is used to control a head gate arm of the head gate to encircle the animals neck.
