The device of claim 1 wherein said closing members comprise: a first strap having a first end secured to said transport member proximate to a first longitudinal edge of said transport member, said first strap having a second end adjustably secured to a first end of a first portion of a fastener member such that said first portion of said fastener member is slidably positioned across said first strap; and a second strap having a first end secured to said transport member proximate a second longitudinal edge of said transport member, said second strap having a second end secured to a first end of a second portion of said fastener member, said first and second portions of said fastener member having cooperating second ends that detachably join such that a carcass is encased within said transport member via said second end of said first strap being distally moved from joined second ends of said first and second portions of said fastener member, said second end of said first portion of said fastener member including means for manually releasing said first portion of said fastener member from said second portion of said fastener member thereby allowing said first and second portions to be manually separated to promote the separation of said first and second longitudinal edges of said transport member to expose the carcass secured within. 10. The device of claim 1 wherein said hauling member includes a drag harness detachably secured thereto, said drag harness engaging a person's shoulders to increase the pulling force imparted upon said transport member by the person. 11. The device of claim 1 wherein said carcass members and said closing members cooperate with said hauling member to maintain the longitudinal orientation of the deer carcass in substantially lineal relationship with said hauling member, thereby reducing the manual force required for one person to manually drag said deformable transport member with the deer carcass therein upon a ground surface. 12. The device of claim 7 wherein said hauling member includes a second outer strap extending longitudinally across a substantial portion of both of said carcass engagement and ground engagement sides of said transport member, said longitudinal extension of said second outer strap upon said carcass engagement side being substantially equal in length to the length of said second outer strap upon said ground engagement side. 13.
