Abstract

A turkey call holding leg harness is provided including a pair of straps each having a pair of ends including a first free end and a second end. The second finds have buckles mounted thereon for releasably coupling with the first free ends to define closed loops. Further provided is a pair of adjustable plates mounted between the straps for releasably containing a turkey call.

Claims

1. A turkey call holding leg harness comprising, in combination:

a pair of straps each formed of a thin, flexible and inelastic material and having a planar rectangular configuration, each strap having a pair of ends including a first free end and a second end with a buckle mounted thereon for releasably coupling with the first free end to define a closed loop, wherein a diameter of the loop may be selective adjusted;

a rigid mounting plate having a planar rectangular front and rear face with a thin periphery formed therebetween, the rear face having central extents of the straps mounted thereon such that the straps remain parallel and are spaced an equal distance from a central portion of the mounting plate and reside in perpendicular relationship with sides of the periphery of the mounting plate such that the mounting plate may be worn on a leg of a user;

a rigid face plate including a pair of linear side strips maintained in parallel via a bottom strip integrally coupled between bottom ends of the side strips, each strip of the face plate having a rear face, a front face, an outer periphery and an inner periphery, the face plate having a thickness equal to that of the mounting plate, the outer periphery of the face plate also being similar to that of the mounting plate, the inner periphery having a rectilinear recess formed along an entire extent thereof adjacent to and in communication with the rear face of the face plate such that the face plate has an L-shaped cross-section; and

a plurality of bolts including female bolts rotatably situated within in bores formed in the mounting plate between the front and rear face thereof and adjacent to the periphery, the bolts further including male bolts fixedly coupled within bores formed in the face plate adjacent to the outer periphery thereof such that the distance between the face plate and the mounting plate may be selectively determined thus accommodating any one of variously sized turkey calls therebetween.

2. A turkey call holding leg harness comprising:

a pair of straps each having a pair of ends including a first free end and a second end with a coupling means mounted thereon for releasably coupling with the first free end to define a closed loop, wherein a diameter of the loop may be selective adjusted, the coupling means includes a buckle; and

containment means mounted between the strap for releasably containing a turkey call, the containment means defines a vertically oriented slot with an open top for releasably receiving the turkey call, the containment means is adapted to accommodate turkey calls of various sizes, the containment means includes a pair of rigid plates adapted to be selectively distanced.

3. A turkey call holding leg harness as set forth in claim 2 wherein the plates are distanced via bolts.

4. A turkey call holding leg harness as set forth in claim 2 wherein one of the plates has an L-shaped cross-section along its entire extent.
