  • Publication number: 20160219866
    Abstract: Directional rattles for imitating the sound of sparring dominate game animals. In one embodiment, the directional rattle has a whorled portion, on the rod that makes contact with concentric rings within the housing of the rattle. In a second embodiment, the directional rattle has intermittent, fixed, raised, shelf-like projections on the surface that make contact with concentric rings within the housing of the rattle. The manipulation of the rod within the housing results in a more authentic sound that resonates out of the bell shaped or tapered portion at the bottom that gives the sound a directional flow out and away from the device, attracting game animals.
