Method and apparatus for controlling herbivore fowl populations
09918452 · 2018-03-20 · ·

A method and apparatus is provided for controlling the location in which herbivore fowl populations congregate by altering the behavior 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.

20250008944 · 2025-01-09 ·

The invention relates to a game lure system designed for attracting large animals. The system comprises a durable and waterproof container divided by a partition into a food storage compartment and a main compartment. A hatch on the container is programmably controlled to open at pre-set times, allowing food to be accessed from the food storage to the main compartment. The timing and duration of the hatch's opening are controlled by a programmable control unit, which also activates a sound-producing device when the hatch opens, enhancing the lure's effectiveness by associating the sound with food availability. This programmable feature allows for the creation of a predictable feeding pattern, thereby habituating the targeted animals to the lure's location. The lure is also equipped with mounting brackets for easy installation and a top lid for maintenance and refilling.
