  • Deer lure composition and method of use in conducting a census of local deer population
    Patent number: 10470464
    Abstract: A deer lure is applied to a licking branch to attract deer, primarily buck deer, in collecting census data on the population of a deer herd in a given area and in deer hunting. The lure is formulated by surgically removing the left and right pre-orbital tear duct glands from the left and right eyes of a deer. The left and right pre-orbital tear duct glands are mixed together to produce a totally pure pre-orbital gland lure, free of any other product removed from any deer. When applied to a licking branch, the lure is effective in attracting deer year round to the licking branch and is not limited to use during the rut.
