What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:
1. A hand warming muff and holding apparatus for allowing a bow hunter to keep his hand warm during hunting and for simultaneously carrying hunting-related accessories comprising, in combination:
- a hip pocket including a tubular body formed of an outer fabric layer and an inner fabric layer with an intermediate insulated layer disposed therebetween, the body having a sealed bottom end, an open top end, and an axial length about 33% greater than its diameter, the hip pocket further including an elastic ribbed fabric cuff for receiving a bow hunter's hand, the cuff having a conical hollow lower extent coupled to the top end of the body and a tubular upper extent for snugly fitting about the bow hunter's arm once his hand is disposed within the body, the hip pocket additionally including a generally rectangular exterior pocket with an upwardly extended opening affixed to the outer layer of the body for holding hunting-related accessories therein, the exterior pocket having a strip of pile-type fastener coupled thereto, a flap affixed to the body and positionable over the opening, and a strip of complimentary pile-type fastener affixed to the flap and removably securable with the pile-type fastener to seal the opening;
- a leather belt loop affixed to the top end of the body of the hip pocket, the belt loop sized for receiving a belt of a bow hunter and thus allowing the hip pocket to be carried at a location proximal with the bow hunter's waist; and
- a leg strap formed of a fabric material having a first free end with a pile-type fastener secured thereto, a second free end with a complimentary pile-type fastener secured thereto, and an intermediate portion between the ends affixed to the body near the bottom end thereof and with the fasteners of the leg strap removably securable in a closed loop configuration about a leg of a bow hunter to prevent unmoderated movement of the hip pocket.
