Innovation Description and Benefit:
The Deer Tow is a two-man deer (animal) removal tool. It is a Tee bar handle constructed of one-inch steel tubing with a ¼ in steal cable made into a slip snare at the end. The handle has been treated with a rubber no slip grip coating for better handling and cleaning. This tool has been designed to be beneficial and improve safety in heavy volume of traffic for two employees to drag and remove animals off the highway and or right of ways. The tool will help improve safety by letting the crew walk in a normal up right fashion allowing them to have full line of sight of oncoming traffic. This will help limit the risk of slips, trips, falls and back strain as well minimizing need of contact with such mangled or decaying animals.
