Abstract: The trousers for bow hunters have a bow rest pocket on the outside of one or both legs of the trousers and below the knee. The bow rest pocket is formed by a generally triangular panel that is sewn to the trousers leg along a generally horizontal panel edge and along a generally vertical panel edge. The bow rest pocket is open upwardly and rearwardly. The bow rest pocket is positioned on a trouser leg in a position that minimizes the movement required to draw, aim and shoot at a wild animal from a ground blind or a tree stand. The bow rest pocket can support a bow or a camera mounted on a monopod or support leg.
