  • Patent number: 6165570
    Abstract: A deer attractant comprising an air-permeable container holding hair taken from the tarsal gland region of a deer. Instead of using deer tissue or urine that may spoil relatively quickly, only the hair from the tarsal gland region are collected. The collected hair is placed in an air-permeable container. In use, the container is preferably hung on a tree or other elevated structure to maximize the emanation of the odor to attract deer or from a slowly moving vehicle to create a scent trail.

  • Patent number: 4716594
    Abstract: A protective garment for protection against mosquitoes and other insects is provided. The garment comprises a plurality of fabric components with stitching forming seams securing the components together. The fabric components are multilayered and comprise inner and outer layers of fabric which are connected at the seams. The outer layer of fabric is constructed so as to prevent passage of mosquitoes and other insects therethrough. The inner layer of fabric is a coarse mesh fabric with relatively large openings therein and is many times thicker than the thickness of the outer layer of fabric so as to serve as a spacer layer to space the skin of the wearer of the garment at such a distance from the outer surface of the garment that mosquitoes, even in the event of sticking their heads between yarns forming the outer fabric layer, cannot span the distance to the skin of the wearer so as to bite the wearer.
