A game animal transporting apparatus having a support tube attachable to the rear hitch of a transport vehicle and a support frame attachable to the support tube to function as an exterior cargo carrier. The support frame is rotatable in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction for ease of loading objects onto the support frame. The support frame is lockable in a horizontal position for transport. The support frame is detachable from the support tube. A handle and wheel assembly are attachable to the support frame to form a mobile utility cart. The cart can be wheeled to a remote location to retrieve a game animal and then returned to the transport vehicle, after which, the support frame can be secured to the support tube, the handle and wheel assembly can be detached, and the game animal can be transported to another location.

1. A game animal transporting apparatus, comprising: a) a support tube assembly comprising a horizontally disposed cross-sectionally square receiver engagement tube and a cross-sectionally round rotation tube coaxially affixed to said receiver engagement tube, wherein said rotation tube has a hole therein for receiving a linchpin reversibly therethrough, wherein said receiver engagement tube is operable to mount to a receiver hitch of a transport vehicle;b) a support frame assembly comprising a first bracket mounted to an underside of said support frame assembly, a second bracket mounted to said underside of said support frame assembly, and a cross-sectionally square rotation locking tube mounted to said underside of said support frame assembly, wherein said first bracket and said second bracket each have a round hole therethrough for receiving said rotation tube reversibly therethrough;c) a handle reversibly attachable to said support frame assembly; andd) a wheel assembly reversibly attachable to said underside of said support frame assembly;e) wherein said first bracket and said second bracket are operable to slidably receive said rotation tube therethrough such that said support frame assembly is supported on said support tube assembly, wherein said support frame assembly is operable to pivot on said rotation tube, wherein said locking tube is operable to slidably engage an outside perimeter of said receiver engagement tube and thereby prevent said support frame assembly from pivoting on said rotation tube, wherein said linchpin is operable to reversibly engage said hole in said rotation tube and thereby maintain said locking tube in locking engagement with said receiver engagement tube. 2. A game animal transporting apparatus, comprising: a) a support tube having a cross-sectionally square end and a cross-sectionally round end, wherein said round end has a hole therein for receiving a locking pin reversibly therethrough, wherein said square end is operable to mount to a receiver hitch of a transport vehicle; andb) a support frame having a first bracket mounted to an underside of said support frame, a second bracket mounted to said underside of said support frame, and a cross-sectionally square tube mounted to said underside of said support frame, wherein said first bracket and said second bracket each have a round hole therethrough for receiving said round end of said support tube reversibly therethrough;c) wherein said first bracket and said second bracket are operable to slidably receive said round end of said support tube therethrough such that said support frame is supported on said support tube, wherein said support frame is operable to pivot on said round end of said support tube, wherein said square tube is operable to slidably engage an outside perimeter of said square end of said support tube and thereby prevent said support frame from pivoting on said round end of said support tube, wherein said locking pin is operable to reversibly engage said hole in said round end of said support tube and thereby maintain said square tube in locking engagement with said square end of said support tube. 3. An apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a handle reversibly attachable to said support frame. 4. An apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a wheel assembly reversibly attachable to said underside of said support frame. 5. A method of loading a game animal onto a transport vehicle, comprising the steps of: 1) attaching a support tube to a receiver hitch of said transport vehicle, said support tube having a cross-sectionally square end and a cross-sectionally round end, wherein said round end has a hole therein for receiving a locking pin reversibly therethrough, wherein said square end is operable to mount to said receiver hitch of said transport vehicle;2) securing the game animal onto a game transporting apparatus, said apparatus comprising: a) a support frame having a first bracket mounted to an underside of said support frame, a second bracket mounted to said underside of said support frame, and a cross-sectionally square tube mounted to said underside of said support frame, wherein said first bracket and said second bracket each have a round hole therethrough for receiving said round end of said support tube reversibly therethrough;b) a handle attached to said support frame; andc) a wheel assembly attached to said underside of said support frame;3) placing said game transporting apparatus adjacent to said support tube;4) sliding said support frame onto said support tube such that said first bracket and said second bracket slide onto said round end of said support tube and said square tube slidably engages an outside perimeter of said square end of said support tube to prevent said support frame from pivoting on said support tube; and5) inserting said locking pin into said hole in said round end of said support tube to maintain said square tube in locking engagement with said square end of said support tube. 6. A method according to claim 5, further comprising the step of detaching said handle from said support frame after said inserting step. 7. A method according to claim 5, further comprising the step of detaching said wheel assembly from said support frame after said inserting step.
