Abstract
Abstract A disposable garment for hunters useful for field dressing out and skinning of large animals, such as deer and elk. The garment is formed of a transparent, waterproof material, and has gloves integrally connected to the ends of the sleeves. The gloves each have at least two fingers which the hunter may insert between the hide and the carcass of the animal to form an opening for inserting a hunting knife to slice the animal's hide.
