Rather than trying to call a gobbler and waiting for the gobbler to approach, the hunter instead attempts to seek a gobbler while holding a decoy. As the hunter comes within sight of the gobbler, he can slowly move (e.g., tilt and/or rotate) the decoy so that its fan moves in a manner that mimics movement of a real turkey. It has been found that the gobbler will often fixate on the decoy failing to notice the hunter even when he is not well camouflaged. In fact, the gobbler will often approach the decoy in an aggressive manner making it much less wary than in a typical hunt where a hunter is attempting to make calls that imitate a hen. When the hunter feels that the gobbler is fixated on the decoy, he can couple the decoy to his weapon thereby freeing both of his hands for operating his weapon.

Methods, apparatus, and systems provide wireless remote control of firearm accessories using ultrasonic communication through air. In some variations a transmitter and a receiver used in these methods, apparatus, and systems need not be in line-of-sight, so the location of the accessory on the firearm may be selected independently of the location of remote controls for the accessory. The firearm accessories may be or include, for example, laser pointers and illuminators.

In one example, an apparatus for mounting accessories on a rifle includes a base that is mountable to a rifle, an accessory mounting bracket that is L-shaped, the accessory mounting bracket comprising an accessory mounting leg and a depth positioning leg. The depth positioning leg may include a plurality of attachment features disposed along a length thereof that enable attaching the depth positioning leg to the base at a plurality of depth positions. The accessory mounting leg may include a slot for mounting a photographic device at any lateral position within a lateral positioning range (e.g., 3 inches). In some embodiments, the base is mountable to both the left side and the right side of the rifle and the accessory mounting bracket is attachable to the base (on either side of the rifle) at each depth position for any of four orientations.

A headwear associated firearm accessory has a mirror integral with a mirror support mounted on a rotatable platform having an attachment device attaching the mirror support to the rotatable platform. One option has a rail mount moveably attached to the rotatable platform. Also, a knob is attached to the rotatable platform opposite an attachment point of the mirror support. There is a digital engagement device in the mirror support or in the rotatable platform. This digital engagement device is typically a spring activated ball assembly mounted within a cavity in the rotatable platform. Finally, one embodiment has an arm moveably attached to the rotatable platform also having a grip attached to the arm. A foldable firearm accessory has a rotation base integrally associated with a mirror and further attached to a rotational mount associated with a folding actuator. Spring activated balls provide rotational selection for various positions.
