US12677824 - Small game sling

A small game sling includes a main body member and a series of individual retention straps or cords attached to each end of the main body member. One end of the retention straps is attached to the main body member, and a loop, ring or clip is preferably attached to the distal end thereof. The main body member includes a pair of flaps, wherein a first flap is positioned on one side of the main body member, and a second flap is positioned on an opposed side thereof. The flaps, in one embodiment, include attachment means, such as snaps, buttons, hook and loop fastener material (Velcro), or any other attachment mechanism so that the flaps may be folded inwardly over the main body member and attached to one another, so that the small game sling may be removably attached to the strap of a rifle, shotgun, or the like.

The small game sling features a main body member with retention straps that create self-tightening nooses for securing game animals, along with flaps that can be folded over to attach the sling to a weapon strap. This design allows for the weapon strap to remain independently usable when detached from the sling.
