Abstract: A deer decoy particularly adapted for luring a deer confrontagion ritual. This decoy has an inclined support mounted on a tree trunk or picket and a deer head artifact pivotably mounted on the support. A cord is used for pulling one side of the deer head artifact so that the deer head pivots about the inclined support in a first direction. A spring is attached to the deer head and to a rod fixed to the trunk so that, after pulling on the cord, the deer head pivots in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: A load-carrying vehicle is disclosed which has a chassis over which a load-carrying bucket or platform is fixed and which is, itself, mounted on a track drive. A motor assembly is mounted at the front of the chassis and the latter further has a bridge structure located ahead of the motor assembly and connected to the chassis while spanning a steering wheel. The latter is mounted on a steerable support actuated by a steering lever which projects rearwardly from the bridge structure over the motor assembly and over the load-carrying bucket or platform. A power transmission connects the motor assembly to the steering wheel and to the track drive so that the two may be operated simultaneously.

Abstract: An observation stand has a rectangular platform acting as a floor and removably secured, at its center, at the upper end of a mast. The latter is made up of a series of cylindrical tubes having generally the same length but decreasing in diameter, from one tube to the next, in order that the tubes may be slid one into the other with, of course, the larger tube on the outside. The mast is mounted by its base on a stake, driven into the ground, by means of a device which allows the mast to pivot with respect to the stake so that the stand may be completely mounted when lying over the ground before being straightened up into vertical position and then fixed in that vertical position. The mast is provided with removable rungs capable of giving access to a trap-door formed on the very platform. The latter is surrounded by a removable guardwall.
