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.

The present invention relates to an archery bow accessory that can be removably mounted to the riser of an archery bow. The accessories of the invention can be used to change the color, camo pattern, and/or shape of an archery bow riser to conceal and blend same in to different environments and/or to change the appearance of the archery bow to a color or fashion preference of the archer.

Systems and methods directed to archery bow accessories include a panel to be mounted on an archery bow, forward of the archery bow limbs, to provide stabilization, silencing, and/or concealment. The panel may be sufficiently rigid to support all or some of the weight of the archery bow against a support structure, such as the ground. The panel may also be sufficiently structurally sound to quiver arrows and to support other optional features, such as aiming devices. Silencing functionality of the panel may be enhanced by usage of or addition of sound absorbing materials, such as cork, foam, rubber, honeycomb structures, or combinations thereof.

A portable hunting blind for a bow includes a bow attachment bracket, a stabilizer track, a blind attachment bracket, a camouflage blind, and a fastener assembly. The camouflage blind protects and hides a hunter form an animal. The camouflage blind includes a rod and a foldable panel as the foldable panel is terminally attached to the rod and the rod is terminally connected to the blind attachment bracket. The blind attachment bracket and the stabilizer track are positioned in between the camouflage panel and the bow attachment bracket that secures the portable hunting blind to a hunting bow. The bow attachment bracket is slidable mounted to the blind attachment bracket through the stabilizer track and the fastener assembly thus deploying the portable hunting blind in front of the hunter and the bow.
