A big game field-dressing kit that permits field-dressing a game animal on the ground and transporting the animal includes several pointed stakes that can be driven into the ground near the animal's head and rear legs. Each of the stakes has a flexible tie such as a rope or cable, and each flexible tie has a loop at the end distal from the stake. One or more of the stakes has notches that can receive the flexible tie after it is passed around the animal's neck, so that the stake acts as a handle for dragging the animal along the ground.
