  • Footwear device for hunters
    Patent number: 5024008
    Abstract: Footwear for use by hunters. The footwear includes a rubber overshoe to be worn over a boot worn by the hunter with the sole of the boot being covered by the overshoe whereby the boot will not come in contact with the ground as the hunter walks. A scent dispenser is provided which is attached to the overshoe for dispensing scent on the ground as the hunter walks. The scent dispenser is isolated from the boot so that the overshoe and dispenser may be removed from the boot and the boot worn without emitting scent. The rubber overshoe isolates the boot from the ground so that if the boot is contaminated by human scents, it will not be emitted to the ground.
