Game animal field dressing device
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a game animal field dressing and gutting assistance tool. The tool is used for holding the legs of a game animal open while the hunter dresses and guts the animal. The tool comprises a telescoping pole that can be adjusted and selectively-affixed in length for use with different game animals. The telescoping pole includes two ends, each end having a strap assembly housing a strap and a lock for securing the strap. The straps can be connected to the animal's legs and the telescoping pole can be selectively-affixed in length to enable a hunter to spread the legs of the game animal to a desired distance. The straps and pole keep the legs open while the hunter dresses and guts the animal.
