  • Publication number: 20110225874
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to an apparatus and method for controlling wild animals comprised of an attractant that entices the target wild animal, such as a coyote, to consume the apparatus. Upon consumption, a trigger, which may be covered by a portion of the attractant reacts with fluids in the digestive system of the wild animal, that is, if the fluids are at a predetermined pH level corresponding to the trigger. For if not, the trigger is remains in a state of inactivation, but if the pH is within the predetermined pH range corresponding to the trigger, the trigger is configured to dissolve. Upon dissolving of the trigger, a subduing agent activates causing terminal damage in the digestive system of the wild animal leading to its death. The subduing agent may include metal reactants, chemical agents, percussion devices, compressed sponges, etc.

  • Patent number: 4785791
    Abstract: A bow sight transportation cover having an essentially rectangular protective housing with one open side end into which the bow sight projects. The housing is secured to the central portion of the bow by slidably engaging a mounting bracket attached directly to the bow sight. The housing can be modified to slide either horizontally or vertically onto the mounting bracket. The bow sight cover can be constructed of transparent material and provided with a recess for the arrow to pass through. Alternatively, the vertical position of the housing can be adjusted by mounting the housing on an elongated bar which extends between the two end portions of the bow.
