Abstract

A fallen game locator to aid the hunter in locating the precise location game was when shot. A cylindrical, cone shaped device with unspecified fluorescent or brightly colored series of rings on the exterior, working in conjunction with a target site viewer tube, extending through the small center tip of the cone shaped device, through and beyond the larger opening of the cone shaped device with the back plate in place, and secured to a riser so as to enable the series of colored rings to be seen from multiple locations, at a distance, with the naked eye, a scope, or binoculars, thus economizing the length of time required to find shot game.

Claims

1. A fallen game locator for aiding a game hunter in successful and expedited retrieval of a shot game animal by pinpointing a location of a game animal when shot, and leading or directing a hunter to a correct location a game animal occupied, comprising:

a cone shaped object having a small end and a large end, a central hole formed through the cone shaped object, the small end of the cone shaped object pointed to a direct site a game animal was when shot;

a tubular shaped object being hollow and having a diameter allowing a pinpoint view of a site where a game animal was when shot by observing a location where a game animal was shot through the tubular shaped object, the tubular shaped object centrally mounted in, to, and through the hole in the cone shaped object;

a back plate having a diameter which is smaller than a large end of the cone shaped object, the back plate having a central hole, the central hole having a diameter to accommodate the tubular shaped object so that the tubular shaped object, when mounted in the central hole, extends beyond the back plate; and

,

a plurality of differently colored rings located around and along a circumference of the cone shaped object, the plurality of differently colored rings being fluorescent or brightly colored thereby creating a target comprising differently colored rings from the small end of the cone shaped object changing colors in progression to the large end in the cone shaped object, the plurality of differently colored rings being visible from a distance.
