Method and Apparatus for Controlling Herbivore Fowl Populations
20170258038 · 2017-09-14 ·

A method and apparatus is provided for controlling the location in which herbivore fowl populations congregate by altering the behaviour of the fowl through the combination of providing a strong disincentive to populate areas where the presence of the fowl is not desired and a strong incentive to populate a proximate area where the presence of fowl can be tolerated. For herbivore waterfowl, and in particular Canada geese, the adjacent area also provides the waterfowl with a means of egress to water as an escape from predators and other perceived threats. The method uses a deterrent in the form of adulterated feed to dissuade the herbivore fowl from congregating in areas in which their presence is not desired and the use of an attractant in the form of non-adulterated feed to encourage the herbivore fowl to congregate in a proximate area in which their presence can be tolerated.

GAME CALL WITH VOLUME ENHANCING AND TONE STABILIZING COIL SPRING
20170258071 · 2017-09-14 ·

The present invention utilizes a sized coil spring placed in the end of game call tubes, or mouthpieces that go into such tubes. When air is blown into the tube or mouthpiece, the air passes over and through the coil spring, causing the spring to vibrate and make a whirlwind effect. The vibrating coil spring increases the volume of the sound and also stabilizes each tone created on the mouthpiece or tube. The higher tones, or notes, are more easily obtained and become easier to reach and hold with consistency. The coil spring also helps to increase back pressure, making it easier to blow into call with less air to make the call work. This invention can be used in all types of game calls, such as calls for elk, deer, moose, wolves, predators, geese, ducks, and even some turkey calls. The invention makes the desired sounds more realistic and user friendly.

REMOTE SOUND ACTIVATED MECHANICAL BIRD SYSTEM
20170258073 · 2017-09-14 ·

A remote sound activated mechanical bird system includes a bird feeder and a microphone mounted on the bird feeder. The microphone captures bird calls. A transmitter is electrically coupled to the microphone and transmits wireless signals including bird calls captured by the microphone. A bird assembly includes a body portion having an apex and bottom end. A head is rotatably mounted on the apex. A motor is mounted within the body portion. An axle is coupled to the motor and to the head so that the motor rotates the head when the motor is actuated. A receiving assembly is electrically coupled to the motor and receives wireless signals from the transmitter. The receiving assembly actuates the motor to turn the head when the receiving assembly receives the wireless signal which includes the bird calls. A sound emitter is electrically coupled to the receiving assembly to emit the bird calls.

20170251792 · 2017-09-07 ·

A feeder stand including a rotary ground auger and base holds a feeder above the ground. An upright elongated rod defines a stand supported by an auger having helical coils removably screwed into the ground. A platform such as a round disc, or wire mesh platform is supported on the top distal end of the rod. At least two opposing legs extend perpendicular to the vertical elongated rod and auger forming a base. The distal end of selected opposing legs are bent or angled upward perpendicular from the ground forming handles for rotating the auger into the ground. The portion of the legs extending outward normal to the elongated support pole provides a base bearing against the ground for increased lateral support.
