Abstract:

A multipurpose hunter's apparatus convertible between a wheeled cart, a sled, a tree stand, and a free standing deer stand. The apparatus comprises a pair of L-shaped frame members separated by a plurality of rungs to provide a ladder when in the elevated position, or as brace members when used as a transporting device. A unique arrangement of three braces can be used in various configurations to rigidly stabilize the respective arrangement and to provide a load retaining member when transporting game or hunter's equipment. A handle is adaptable to the wheeled carts and the sled arrangements which is adapted to a snowmobile or an all terrain vehicle. Various members are multipurpose in function such that various devices can be arranged, with a minimal amount of material. The apparatus can be transportable in a boat across open water, and can be arranged to carry the boat between portages. From start to finish of a hunting trip, the apparatus can be figured into the variety of useful orientations as appropriate.
