Abstract
A rigid hand bar has a pair of spaced clamp loops which are adjustable for releasable securement on front leg portions of a dead game animal. The animal can be dragged after first securing the bar to its front legs and then grasping and pulling the bar. A line secured to the bar is arranged to loop under and support the head portion of the animal so that it will not drag on the ground. The hand bar may have a central gripping area for use by one man or it may have opposite end gripping areas for use by two men.
