A method of documenting a hunt using an article of eyewear is provided. The method includes providing the article of eyewear, the article of eyewear comprising (a) an eyeglass frame having an integrally formed camera enclosure, (b) an imaging sensor disposed within the camera enclosure, and (c) wherein the eyeglass frame having a camouflage pattern. The method further includes activating a video recording functionality of the article of eyewear during the hunt and video recording the hunt using the article of eyewear.

Abstract: A game call having a mouthpiece with an internal latex diaphragm and secured to said mouthpiece is a diaphragm plunger which is operable by pressing an artificial tongue-like pliable section into contacting with the diaphragm, thereby changing the pitch of the sound produced.

Abstract: An adjustable shooting stick is beneficial in assisting a shooter in supporting a firearm while aiming and shooting. The shooting stick has a telescopically extensible body having an upper and lower end and is adjustable and lockable between a collapsed and an extended position. An adjustable rest member is slidably mounted on the upper end of the adjustable shooting stick for supporting the firearm. The adjustable rest member has a grip with a trigger housing for supporting a trigger formed by a lever having a cam-shaped end. The cam-shaped end for urges a brake member against the adjustable shooting stick to lock the adjustable rest member in position. The shooter squeezes the lever to release the brake member from against the shooting stick to slidably adjust the rest member along the upper end of the shooting stick.

Abstract: A field dressing tool for big game animals and a method for using same is disclosed. The tool includes a tip portion, a plurality of barbs extending radially and rearwardly from the tip portion, a shank extending from a rear portion of the barbs, and the handle on the shank opposite the tip portion. A barrier member is provided between the tip portion and the handle, and is positioned in a spaced-apart relationship with the handle. Inserting the tip and barbs into the rectum causes radial stretching of the intestinal wall, and rotation of the tool causes ensnarement of the rectum on the barbs. The tool is retracted from the anus, pulling a section of rectum external to the animal to be closed to prevent leakage of bodily waste materials.

Abstract: A multi-purpose box call having an outside of the box and offset self-centering extension arm to constrain the lid, which permits generation of turkey cutting noises via merely repeatedly tapping an end of the lid in a single direction. No grasping or twisting of the lid is necessary, and no need to locate the proper orientation between the lid and the box is necessary. The box call can be played in a normal manner by removing or overpowering the rubber band.
