Smart Micro-Mouse Trap
A smart micro-mouse trap is disclosed herein which can be used to trap and kill the mouse, rat, rodent, etc. instantly. The embodiment comprises an enclosure for the mouse, a beam to detect the mouse, a trap, a latch and a solenoid powered by an electrical circuit to activate the tripping mechanism as the mouse enters the trap and breaks the beam. The smart micro-mouse trap is advantageous and useful as it is inexpensive, easy to operate, durable and allows for sanitary disposal of the dead mice, rats, rodents without contact to human.
Animated decoy spreader
A device for spreading fowl decoys on the surface of a body of water. A hub sits below the surface is removably coupleable with up to four arm arrangements. Arm arrangements are jointed, allowing hub and arm arrangements to sit below the surface of the water while decoys float on surface. Hub is connected to an anchor on the bottom of the body of water, and can be displaced horizontally with a pull cord. Cords in the arm arrangements allow for near-random motion of attached decoys, simulating a swimming motion of fowl. Hub can be displaced vertically with a pull cord, causing the decoys to dip head first into the water, simulating a feeding motion of water fowl. Hubs can be combined by coupling arm arrangements from each hub. When displaced horizontally in the water, hubs not attached to the pull cord move semi-randomly, creating more random motion in decoys.

PEST CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME
A pest control device comprising a capacitive sensor array including a plurality of sensor pads, the capacitive sensor array being configured to generate an electrical output signal indicating the state of each sensor pad, and an electronic controller electrically connected to the capacitive sensor array, the electronic controller including a processor and a memory including a plurality of instructions, which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to: receive the electrical output signals from the capacitive sensor array, determine a measured capacitance value for each sensor pad based on each electrical output signal, calculate a baseline for each sensor pad based on the measured capacitance value of the sensor pad, determine whether a difference between the measured capacitance value of at least one sensor pad and its corresponding baseline exceeds a first predetermined threshold, update a counter when the first predetermined threshold is exceeded, and record an event indicative of a presence of a pest when the counter exceeds a predetermined limit.
PEST-MANAGEMENT APPARATUSES WITH SEPARATOR TO IMPROVE FUNCTION OF RODENT SENSOR
Pest-management apparatuses (e.g., stations), such as, for example, that can be configured to permit a rodent to enter and retrieve a bait and/or become trapped (e.g., via adhesive or a snap-trap).
SCENTED THROWING DART
An improved method, device, and system for hunting and selectively placing a scented hunting aid is provided. A hand-thrown dart may have a tip and a flight attached opposite thereto. The flight may carry a scented fluid or scented material thereon. The flight is configured to be positioned above the ground after the dart has been thrown by hunter from a tree stand. The dart enables the hunter to selectively throw the dart such that its placement is upwind from a desired game animal such as a buck deer that the hunter desires to attract. Some implementations utilize peelable covers to release the scented material, while other embodiments utilize a porous or sponge-like flight that is saturated with a scented fluid.
Pest-management apparatuses with separator to improve function of rodent sensor
Pest-management apparatuses (e.g., stations), such as, for example, that can configured to permit a rodent to enter and retrieve a bait and/or become trapped (e.g., adhesive or a snap-trap).
Collapsible call horn for hunters which generates sampled animal calls
A collapsible call horn for hunters which generates sampled animal calls is comprised of a cone shaped horn made out of a resiliently deformable material, having ridges and creases on the cone perimeter so as to create a bellows configuration to allow for the cone to collapse onto itself so as to reduce the cone's relative size.
MOTORIZED GAME CART
A motorized cart with a frame, the frame having a floor, a first elongated side wall, a second elongated side wall, a rear wall, and a front wall that is hingedly connected to the floor. The cart includes a winch that is situated on the rear wall of the cart. A winch belt with a hook on the end of it extends forward from the rear wall. The cart has two wheels that are longitudinally aligned with one another so that one wheel is directly in front of the other wheel, and the wheels are centered longitudinally within the floor of the cart. The cart also has an electric motor that is powered by a battery and is operable in both forward and reverse gear.
Fishing and Hunting Prediction System and Method
A fishing and hunting prediction system and method. The fishing and hunting prediction system may include a server, including a fishing and hunting prediction application, a controller, operating memory, and a communications interface, and wherein the server is accessible via a network. The fishing and hunting prediction system may further include, a data store in communication with the server; one or more data sources, wherein the one or more data sources are accessible to the fishing and hunting prediction application via the network; and wherein the controller is configured to execute stored program instructions, that may include providing access to a user; receiving user profile data; receiving waypoint data for one or more waypoints; receiving data from the one or more data sources; processing the received data; and generating fishing and hunting forecasting models based on the processed data.
