Inventor : James Prendamano


It has happened to the best of us... You are set up in your tree stand with a commanding view of the landscape in front of you. Binoculars in-hand...weapon at the ready as you wait for that one moment that all hunters treasure. And then it happens. Behind you, you hear the crack of a branch, then another, and then leaves rustling. Yes - your prized trophy is behind you in the brush. How could this have happened again??? As you try to quietly turn and get a look, the game catches your movement... startles and runs off deep into the woods. If only there was an efficient, nonintrusive way to view your complete perimeter.

To cure this all too common dilemma, we are proud to present "The HuntersPerspective." Using two small, double articulating mirrors incorporated into the brim of a hunters hat, this ingenious yet incredible simple system will afford the hunter a full view of his surroundings, allowing him to monitor all activity behind him. Using "The Hunters Perspective", the hunter will have the ability to see game as it approaches from the rear in a distance, giving him or her the ability to change position in the tree stand and prepare for the shot before the animal gets too close and while the game is not looking at you.The mirrors fold out of the way when not in use and can be added to your lucky hat. We also have planned a complete package which will include the "The Hunters Perspective" system already installed on either a camouflage pattern or orange cap with a built in LED light in the brim.

As attorney for the inventor of the innovative new Hunter's Perspective we are currently seeking investors and manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.

The present invention allows hunters to view any game behind them without having to startle them through movement. The rearview mirror is an integral part of the brim of the hat, the telescopic arm is extended and the mirror is rotated to the desired angle. The telescopic arm provides for extending the mirror past any obstructions for maximum vision behind the hunter while sitting in a tree stand or any hunting blind.

There are other mirror devices designed for rearward viewing. While these devices may be suitable for the purposes for which they where designed, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.

  • to provide a hat with rearview mirrors forming an integral part used to view game behind a user without turning around

  • to provide a hat with rearview mirrors having a telescopic arm portion comprising nested sleeve segments

  • to provide a hat with rearview mirrors having a mirror pivotally mounted to said telescopic arm portion
