A big game dressing device has a handle portion having two ends: a first end with a grip attachment to aid gripping it with a hand, and a second end having a windpipe loop dimensioned and configured to engage around the windpipe of a big game animal to be gutted. The device may be extendible, may have a handle or the like at the first end, and may be made of a strong material. In use, the body cavity of the big game animal is cut open from top to bottom and the windpipe of the animal is cut across. The windpipe loop is then placed over the end of the windpipe and the device is pulled, assisting in the removal of the visceral of the animal.
