Abstract:
1. A small game skinning aid comprising: an elongated beam having a center portion flanked between two shoulder portions; a top line extending between an upper end adapted for forming a firm, upper fastening to a sturdy overhead support and a lower end that is cooperatively adapted along with the beam's center portion for a firm, lower fastening therebetween; two drop lines, each extending between a lower terminus and an upper terminus that is cooperatively adapted along with a respective shoulder portion for a firm fastening therebetween; wherein each drop line is produced from a given strand of line-stock to form doubled-up courses of the given strand for at least the lower terminus as well as proximal portions extending up therefrom such that the lower terminus is defined by a terminal U-bend and so that in consequence the lower terminus as well as the doubled-up course proximal portions extending up therefrom can be manipulated into forming a Lark's spur noose for cinching onto chosen anatomy of a small game animal, including an ankle, wrist, or neck; and wherein the top line's lower end and the beam's center portion are further cooperatively adapted together such that the top line's lower end is tied into a knot as the center portion is formed with a generally vertical through hole that is sized to snugly surround the top line as well as is sized to block lower end's knot and stop the top line from losing the beam in response to application of considerable downward pulling force.
