Sealed Diaphragm Game Call
A sealed diaphragm game call for efficiently calling and attracting wild animals. The sealed diaphragm game call generally includes a call base with an upper surface, a rigid frame, and a diaphragm, which, together, forms a diaphragm call assembly. The game call may also comprise a custom-molded sealant portion. The sealed diaphragm game call is a custom-fit game call that may be made by applying a curable sealant to the upper surface of the call base, inserting the call base in a user's mouth, pressing the call base toward the roof of the user's mouth, and holding the call base in position against the roof of the user's mouth until the curable sealant has cured. After curing, the sealant is bonded to the diaphragm call assembly, and specifically, the upper surface of the call base and the upper surface of the rigid frame.
Turkey pot call system
A turkey call system includes a pot, a sound board and a striking surface which is held together with magnets. A striker contacts the pot to produce a sound that is capable of attracting turkeys.
Animal call
A reed-actuated animal call having a double-reed assembly and triple-reed assembly. The double-reed assembly has a short reed positioned atop a long reed positioned atop a sound board. An air passage is formed in the top of the sound board underneath the long reed. The long reed extends a determined length beyond the end of the short reed, the short reed constraining the long reed to enable the rapid activation of the long reed. The triple-reed assembly has an additional mid-length reed positioned between the short and long reeds. The long reed extends a determined length beyond the end of the mid-length reed, the mid-length reed extends a determined length beyond the short reed above the sound board, and the mid-length and short reeds constrain the long reed so as to enable the rapid activation of the long reed with a different resonance than the double-reed assembly.
Mallard Hen Variable Tone Game Caller with Quick Grip
A tubular blowing tube receives a sounding barrel in one end. A longitudinal channel extending from the inner end of a sounding barrel defines a rounded support surface for a pair of reeds or reed. The joining of the longitudinal channel and rounded support surface includes four notches of each side of the channel, geometrically shaped to encourage upward air flow. The exterior portion of the sounding barrel includes a primary exhaust that allows longitudinal flow of air but also a secondary exhaust that allows perpendicular air flow. The secondary exhaust incorporates two longitudinal slits that resemble the anatomical design of a mallard hen bill underside, with geometric design to enable controlled air flow. The sounding barrel includes a recessed design quick grip around the secondary exhaust, built at a depth that allows for controlled volumetric air flow ratio between the primary and secondary exhaust ports. The recessed area around the secondary exhaust port on the sounding barrel is designed to project the air flow and sound forward in the longitudinal direction of the game caller device, while enabling the game caller operator to quickly orient the call based on the location of the recessed quick grip in the sounding barrel.
Remote controlled duck decoy with mechanical duck call
The invention herein is a duck-shaped decoy that floats upon a body of water. The decoy may also be formed into the shape of a goose, wild turkey, or other fowl. The decoy includes a mechanism that produces a motion that simulates the motion of a wild duck, or other fowl. The decoy also includes a mechanical can call activating device that mechanically manipulates a can call producing a noise that attracts ducks, or other fowl.
Diaphragm game call case
Disclosed is a container for housing a diaphragm game call, comprising a case having a first member, a second member, and a line of connection therebetween, a fastening means for connecting the first and second members, and at least one moisture-retaining member disposed between the first and second members. The moisture-retaining member is preferably a sponge that can be soaked with an alcohol-free mouthwash, which helps to prevent the latex reed in the diaphragm game call from drying out and requiring replacement. The mouthwash also acts as a sanitizer to prevent the accumulation of germs and bacteria. A D-ring on the exterior of the case provides an attachment location for a lanyard, which allows a user to carry the device around his or her neck, or to remove the lanyard and carry the device in a pocket.
Method and Apparatus for Wildlife Monitoring
To monitor wildlife, including upland game birds, it is imperative to do so without human interaction and intervention, and therefore requires monitoring from a remote location. The embodiment of this invention described herein is an apparatus, contained in an environmentally impervious enclosure, to which consistent power is provided through solar radiation, a power management module is connected which conserves power to the apparatus, wildlife calls are selected through a human interface that operates in extreme environments, wildlife calls which beckon wildlife to the location are emitted periodically, wildlife behavior is visually recorded, and recorded images which detail movement are transmitted through wireless protocols. The specific site may have predator proof food and water or other such motivations for the wildlife to return to the site upon being called. With upland game birds, this may be a rallying call, specific to each game bird species. With other wildlife species, this could be a mating call, as an example.
GAME CALL WITH ASSOMETRICLY POSITIONED TACTILE ELEMENTS TO AID FINGER PLACEMENT
A game call is disclosed that includes a barrel having a mouthpiece end for receiving an air flow and an insert that fits into the end of the barrel opposite the mouthpiece end. The insert has a tone board and a reed that vibrates from the air flow, and one or more tactile elements positioned asymmetrically on a tail portion of the insert which extends 360 along a circumference of said tail portion. The circumference has a smooth portion without tactile elements and a tactile portion having the tactile elements. The tactile elements assist with finger positioning on the insert to allow for consistent and repeatable finger placement. The smooth portion preferably extends for more than 180 around the circumference of the tail portion and the tactile portion extends for less than 180 around the circumference of the tail portion. Preferably, the insert includes three or four tactile elements.
Call Carrier
A system and method for a call carrier. The carrier has an elongate both which has a left distal end and a right distal end. A closing element secures the left distal end with the right distal end. There is a flap which can hinge open and closed. When the flap is in the closed position it is adjacent to an insert which has at least one pocket. The pocket can be used to house a call. The carrier can be wrapped about a bugle tube allowing a user to carry one or more calls to be used with the bugle tube.
WILD BIRD TREATMENT SYSTEM AND METHODS
A wild bird treatment system includes an enclosure for accommodating a plurality of wild coveying birds targeted for treatment with at least one ground level entrance of a size and location to permit the targeted birds to freely enter and exit the enclosure while excluding non-targeted animals. An electronic bird caller for attracting wild coveying birds is provided. A feeder assembly, slidably removable from the enclosure, includes a slider assembly and a feed hopper. The slider assembly, slidably removable from the feeder assembly, includes a feed plate assembly and a feed slide for controlling flow of medicated feed. The feed plate assembly, slidably removable from the slider assembly, includes a feed plate of a size and a food delivery box with outlets of a size to control the rate of medicated feed released from the feed hopper specific to the birds targeted for treatment.
