Tote for dragging taken game

A tote for dragging a game carcass, including first and second substantially identically configured rigid members that that can be clamped toward each other to bring a substantially C-shaped first recess defined by the first member toward and into alignment with a substantially C-shaped first recess defined by the second member, with the first recess defined by the first member being configured to cooperate with the first recess defined by the second member so the first recesses can cooperate to receive, grip and retain therein a first relatively narrow ankle region of one leg of a taken carcass, wherein each of the first and second members defines a pair of through passages that are aligned with the pair of through passages defined by the other of the first and second members to bring the first recess defined by the first member into alignment with first recess defined by the second member, and wherein each of the first and second members defines a cross-passage in a surface of each of the first and second members to connect the pair of through passages defined by each of the first and second members.

A tote for dragging a game carcass, comprising first and second rigid members that have first and second surfaces, respectively, that are movable toward each other when the first and second members are clamped toward each other, with the first surface of the first member having first and second leg receiving recesses opening therethrough at spaced locations that substantially align with first and second leg receiving recesses defined by the second member that open at spaced locations through the second surface when the first and second members are clamped relatively toward each other, with the first and second members also defining aligned passages through the first and second surfaces at locations between the first and second leg receiving recesses through which clamping means extends that can be used to aid in clamping the first and second members toward each other, and with the first member defining a projection extending from the first surface at a location between the first and second leg receiving recesses to be received in an opening defined in the second surface at a location between the first and second leg receiving recesses of the second member to assist in aligning the first and second rigid members during relative movement of the first and second rigid members toward each other.

A tote for grasping two legs of a game carcass to aid in dragging the carcass, comprising first and second rigid members 1) that define first and second surfaces, respectively, and 2) that are movable toward each other when clamping means that extends through aligned passages defined by the first and second members, respectively, is used to move the first and second members relatively toward each other, with at least one of the first and second surfaces being configured to cooperate with the other of the first and second surfaces to grasp two legs of a game carcass when the clamping means moves the first and second members relatively toward each other, with the aligned passages defined to extend through the first and second surfaces at locations between locations at which the two legs are grasped, and with a projection extending from one of the first and second surfaces at a location between the locations at which the two legs are grasped to be received in an opening defined in the other of the first and second surfaces at a location between the locations at which the two legs are grasped.

A tote comprising first and second substantially identically configured rigid members each defining a first and a second generally C-shaped recess that opens toward, aligns with, and communicates with a corresponding one of first and second generally C-shaped recesses defined by the other of the first and second rigid members when the first and second rigid members are moved relatively toward each other while substantially maintaining alignment of a first set of through passages including a separate through passage defined by each of the first and second members at aligned locations between the first and second generally C-shaped recesses;

• an elongate, flexible tow cable extending through the aligned first set of through passages, with one end region thereof connected to a selected one of the first and second members through an enlargement formed on the end region which is able to be retained within a wider portion of one through passage of the first set of through passages, but which cannot pass through a narrower portion of the one through passage;
• and a grippable handle connected to the tow cable near an opposite end region thereof.

A tote comprising first and second substantially identically configured rigid members each defining a pair of side-by-side, spaced-apart, generally C-shaped recesses between which is located a pair of through passages, with the recesses and the pair of through passages all opening through a surface of one of the first and second members that faces toward a substantially identical surface of the other of the first and second members;

• a length of flexible tow cable having a grippable handle connected thereto near one end region of the tow cable, and having an opposite end region extending through both of the pairs of through passages and serving to assist in aligning the C-shaped recesses and the pair of through passages of the first member with the C-shaped recesses and the pair of through passages of the second member when the first and second members are moved toward each other;
• with the opposite end region of the flexible tow cable being connected to a selected one of the first and second members.
