The all terrain vehicle has a back end and a lift unit is coupled to the back end of the all terrain vehicle. The lift unit is selectively positioned in a lowered position. Harvested game is positioned on the lift unit when the lift unit is in the lowered position. The lift unit is selectively positioned in a lifted position to lift the harvested fame. In this way the all terrain vehicle is facilitated to transport the harvested game. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lift system being configured to selectively lift and transport harvested game, said system comprising: an all terrain vehicle being configured to be driven, said all terrain vehicle having a back end; and a lift unit being coupled to said back end of said all terrain vehicle, said lift unit being selectively positioned in a lowered position wherein said lift unit is configured to have harvested game positioned thereon, said lift unit being selectively positioned in a lifted position wherein said lift unit is configured to facilitate said all terrain vehicle to transport the harvested game, said lift unit comprising a frame being selectively coupled to said all terrain vehicle, said frame having a pair of first members each extending between a pair of second members, said first members being spaced apart from each other such that said frame has a rectangular shape, said frame having a first surface and a second surface, a support extending between said second members, said support being positioned between said first members, a motor being coupled to said support, said motor selectively rotating in a first direction and a second direction, a plate being slidably coupled to said frame, said plate having a first surface; and a worm gear being rotatably coupled between said motor and said first surface of said plate. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, further comprising a hitch being coupled to and extending away from said first surface corresponding to a bottom one of said first members, said hitch being selectively coupled to said back end of said all terrain vehicle having said frame being vertically oriented. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, further comprising a pair of hinges, each of said hinges being slidably coupled to said second surface corresponding to an associated one of said second members. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system according to claim 3, further comprising a plate having a first surface and a peripheral edge, said peripheral edge being coupled to each of said hinges. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system according to claim 4, wherein said plate is selectively positioned in a first position having said plate being horizontally oriented. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The system according to claim 4, wherein said plate is selectively positioned on a second position having said plate being vertically oriented, said first surface being configured to have the harvested game selectively placed thereon when said plate is in said first position. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, further comprising a button being coupled to said frame wherein said button is configured to be manipulated, said button being electrically coupled to said motor, said button selectively turning said motor on to selectively rotate in said first direction and said second direction. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said worm gear urges said plate to travel downwardly along said frame when said motor rotates in said first direction thereby facilitating said lift unit to be positioned in said lowered position. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said worm gear urges said plate to travel upwardly along said frame when said motor rotates in said second direction thereby facilitating said lift unit to be positioned in said lifted position. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, further comprising a power supply being coupled to said support, said power supply being electrically coupled to said motor, said power supply comprising at least one battery. ### Claim 11 A lift system being configured to selectively lift and transport harvested game, said system comprising: an all terrain vehicle being configured to be driven, said all terrain vehicle having a back end; and a lift unit being coupled to said back end of said all terrain vehicle, said lift unit being selectively positioned in a lowered position wherein said lift unit is configured to have harvested game positioned thereon, said lift unit being selectively positioned in a lifted position wherein said lift unit is configured to facilitate said all terrain vehicle to transport the harvested game, said lift unit comprising: a frame being selectively coupled to said all terrain vehicle, said frame having a pair of first members each extending between a pair of second members, said first members being spaced apart from each other such that said frame has a rectangular shape, said frame having a first surface and a second surface, a support extending between said second members, said support being positioned between said first members, a hitch being coupled to and extending away from said first surface corresponding to a bottom one of said first members, said hitch being selectively coupled to said back end of said all terrain vehicle having said frame being vertically oriented, a pair of hinges, each of said hinges being slidably coupled to said second surface corresponding to an associated one of said second members, a plate having a first surface and a peripheral edge, said peripheral edge being coupled to each of said hinges, said plate being selectively positioned in a first position having said plate being horizontally oriented, said plate being selectively positioned on a second position having said plate being vertically oriented, said first surface being configured to have the harvested game selectively placed thereon when said plate is in said first position, a motor being coupled to said support, said motor selectively rotating in a first direction and a second direction, a button being coupled to said frame wherein said button is configured to be manipulated, said button being electrically coupled to said motor, said button selectively turning said motor on to selectively rotate in said first direction and said second direction, a worm gear being rotatably coupled between said motor and said first surface of said plate, said worm gear urging said plate to travel downwardly along said frame when said motor rotates in said first direction thereby facilitating said lift unit to be positioned in said lowered position, said worm gear urging said plate to travel upwardly along said frame when said motor rotates in said second direction thereby facilitating said lift unit to be positioned in said lifted position, and a power supply being coupled to said support, said power supply being electrically coupled to said motor, said power supply comprising at least one battery.
