Complete deer calling system

Abstract

A device made of the net material (17) on the outside. On the inside is made of industrial Cellophane (21). The net material (17) is longer in length than in width giving it the shape of a tube when top end of the net material (13) is rolled over to meet the bottom end of the net material (12) and is sewed together with a stitch line (14) so the inner component of the industrial Cellophane (21) can be installed. Once the net material (17) is full from left end (18) to right end (16) of the net material the left end (18) and right end (16) can be pulled tight and the Velcro straps (19) and (15) can be roped around the ends (18) and (16) keeping the industrial Cellophane in place. The tie down strap (20) can now be tied around the left end of net material (18) just below the Velcro strap (19) so the call can be hung for storage on a hunt.

BACKGROUND-PRIOR ART

The following is a tabulation of some prior art that presently appears relevant:

U.S. Patents
Pat. No.	Issue Date	Patentee
7,029,362	2006-04-18	Halstead
6,889,466	2005-05-10	Hamlet
6,757,574	2004-06-29	Gardner, et al.

U.S. Pat. No. 7,029,362 the Game Attractant is a device for generating sounds associated with movements of animals, in specific turkey. The inventor also claims it can be used to call deer into an area for a hunt. The problem is that deer and turkey do not sound anything alike when moving through the forest. These are two totally different animals, not just in appearance but also in size and weight. Another huge disadvantage of this device is that it must be set up before one is at their hunting spot and since most hunters are in the woods before day break and leave after sunset, one would have to set this device up in the dark with little light provided by a flashlight. Hunters do not want to assemble a device while they are on a hunt. It takes time and can be loud. This would alert any wildlife that is in their area that humans are close, thus deterring them to come into that area. Yet the biggest disadvantage is that this call is a motion generated device for calling animals. Since most hunters hunt from a tree stand, it would be impossible to set this device in motion properly. In fact I don't think it's possible at all, thus leaving it useless for the large group of hunters that use tree stands.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,889,466 the Deer Stomp issued to Hamlet Environmental Technologies is a mechanical device that simulates a deer hoof striking the ground. This call will make only one sound and that sound will sound the same every time. In the white tails language a deer stomp is always associated with a warning call that something is very wrong in that area. This would warn white tails to stay away. Nature is not a mechanical device that makes the same sound over and over again. Once the hunter reaches their tree stand they now have to set this device up before getting into their stand or hunting spot, this can be very noisy and inconvenient. In short hunters want a call device that is quiet, easy to transport, convenient to use and affordable. The Deer Stomp is none of these. Another disadvantage with this call device is it cannot be used with other calls. Hunters know that a deer stomp is a warning call and to combine that with a doe estrus bleat, doe grunt or buck grunt does not make sense.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,757,547 issued to Gardner, et al. is that of an electronic prerecorded device to be played back from a receiver in a specific area to attract wild life to that area. This system is not realistic and is too much hassle. First, nature is not a prerecording. Second, what is prerecorded is what the hunter is stuck with. The recording may not be the right application of the call when deer are in your area. Hunters keep numerous calls on them so they can respond to different situations while on a hunt. Third, one must climb a second tree to hang the receiver speaker then get down and climb the tree one is going to to hunt out of. This entire process will be loud, time consuming and exhausting. Fourth, when electronic devices are used for calling wildlife they tend to be very expensive, putting it out of most hunters price range. In short there is nothing quiet, convenient, or affordable about this call system.

SUMMARY

An improved calling device like The Complete Deer Calling System is a simple, affordable and ready to use call. This is a call device that adds deer to environment sounds to any deer to deer calls hunters or observers already own and love to use. It is a calling device that is very quiet when transporting and because of its feather light weight, it takes no effort to get it to ones tree stand for a hunt or observation. Because of its simple design and components, it can be very affordable to a hunter or observer. By adding deer to environment calls to deer to deer calls, hunters can now duplicate any scenario one has witnessed on a hunt. This gives one the chance to make all their calling techniques as authentic to the white tails world as humanly possible. This call device completes every deer to deer call on the market and makes all existing calls more realistic.

ADVANTAGES

Accordingly, several advantages of one or more aspects are as follows: the call provides hunters a device that combines deer to environment sounds with deer to deer calls that one may already own. This will complete their call techniques. The call is quiet and takes no effort when transporting to one's tree stand or hunting spot and can be offered at an affordable price. It can be easily used and can be applied to any type of deer to deer call that one so desires. It can also be used on its own to represent a social call of the white tail. One of the best advantages is that calls like rattle bags can be put inside this device by removing one of the Velcro straps making it very easy to use two calls at one time. Other advantages of one or more aspects will be apparent from a consideration of the drawings and ensuing descriptions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 is a perspective side view of the device in its complete form. The outer material 17 is made of a light net material. The bottom end of the net material 12 is rolled over to the top end of the net material 13 and a stitch line is sewed in 14 to keep the two ends together and the contents 21 in place. The right and left Velcro straps 15 and 19 are used to secure the right and left ends 16 and 18. The Velcro straps are examples of one way to secure the ends of the device. Another way could be the use of a rope or the right end 16 could be sewed shut leaving the left end 18 accessible to put deer to deer calls inside the device. The tie down strap 20 is placed on the left end of the net material 18 just under the Velcro strap 19 so the call can be hung or tied down while on a hunt or observation from a tree stand.

FIG. 2 is the right end view of the device. The net material 17 is pulled tight at the right end 16 of the net material and secured with a Velcro strap 15 keeping the inner components 21 of the industrial Cellophane intact. The stitch line 14 keeping the bottom 12 and the top 13 of the net material secured is visible from this view.

FIG. 3 is a left end view of the device. The net material 17 is pulled tight at the left end 18 of the net material and secured with a Velcro strap 19 keeping the inner components 21 of the industrial Cellophane in place. The tie down strap 20 is tied around the bottom of the Velcro strap 19 from the left end 18 of the net material. The stitch line 14 keeping the bottom 12 and the top 13 of the net material secured is visible from this view.

FIG. 4 is a side view of the device with the tie down strap 20 removed and the Velcro strap 19 removed with the left end of the material pulled back exposing the inner contents of the industrial Cellophane 21. With the right end of the net material 16 still secured with a Velcro strap 15 and the bottom 12 of the net material stitched 14 to the top of the net material 13 the industrial Cellophane 21 can be stuffed into the net material 17 taking the shape of a tube because the net material 17 is longer in length than in width.

FIG. 5 is to start with a net material 17 longer in length 18 and 16 than in width 13 and 12.

FIG. 6 is to roll the top of the net material 13 over to meet the bottom of the net material 12 and to be sewed together by a stitch line 14. The left and right end of the net material 18 and 16 are open at this point.

FIG. 7 with the net material 17 sewed together with a stitch line 14 where the top and bottom 13 and 12 meet, the left and right end 18 and 16 are open and the industrial Cellophane 21 can be shoved into the net material until the net material 17 is full from the left end 18 to right end 16 taking the shape of a tube.

FIG. 8 with the net material 17 stuffed full of industrial Cellophane 21 the left end 18 can now be pulled tight and secured with the Velcro strap 19 and the tie down strap 20 can be tied around the lower left end of the Velcro strap 19.

FIG. 9 with the net material 17 stuffed full of industrial Cellophane 21 the right end of the net material 16 can be pulled tight and secured with the Velcro strap 15. With all components in place the device is now complete.

Operation—FIGS. 10,11,12,13

FIG. 10 by squeezing the device with a left hand 22 the device will put out a call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. This is the first call.

FIG. 11 by releasing the device with the left hand 22 the device will put out a second call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. Buy squeezing the device with the right hand 23 the device will make a third call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor.

FIG. 12 by releasing the right hand 23 the device will make a fourth call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. By squeezing with the left hand 22 again the process begins again.

FIG. 13 is a drawing of the device being used with one's feet. By feeding the tie down strap 20 down through a tree stand 26 from the left side and back through the right side then tied to the right end 16, the device 17 is now quickly secured to the base of one's tree stand 26. By stepping on the device with one's left foot 24 the device makes the first call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. By releasing foot 24 the device will make a second call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. By stepping on the device with the right foot 25 the device will make a third call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. By releasing that same foot 25 the device will make a fourth call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. The process is repeated as one so desires.

FIGS. 15 and 19

Alternative Embodiment

There are various options to seal the ends 16 and 18 of the device. FIGS. 8 and 9 show Velcro straps 15 and 19 to do the job of keeping the industrial Cellophane 21 in place. One could sew one end shut leaving one end accessible to insert deer to deer calls like a rattle bag or squeeze bleat. One may use a light gage rope or twine to do the same job. When designing new prototypes a hot glue gun worked well to seal the ends of the mesh material. All of these options are possible.

Advantages

From the description, some major advantages become evident by making and using The Complete Deer Calling System.

• • (a) A device for calling deer that is feather light in weight and is very quiet when transporting to ones tree stand or hunting area.
  • (b) A device for calling deer that takes no effort to get to ones tree stand or hunting area.
  • (c) A device for calling deer that combines deer to environment sounds with the many deer to deer calls that one may already own. This makes their call techniques as complete and realistic as humanly possible. This gives the hunter the maximum chance to attract deer into a specific area.
  • (d) A device that can be opened so that other deer to deer calls, such as a rattle bag or squeeze bleat can be inserted, making two calls in one simple device.
  • (e) A device for calling deer that when used alone duplicates a social deer to environment call that is the calm walk of a white tail. This lets any deer within sound range know that the area is safe.
  • (f) A device that is easy and takes little effort to make the deer to environment sounds.
  • (g) A device for calling deer that is ready to use on demand.
  • (h) A device for calling deer that leaves it up to the hunter how, when, and what technique one so desires to use. Is the deer walking, chasing a doe with a grunt call, or are there two bucks fighting? This device leaves it up to the hunter on what call to use based on the scenario and can change it when ever one so desires.
  • (i) A device for calling deer that can be offered to hunters at an affordable price because there are no mechanical or electronic components.

This is the first device that allows hunters to combine deer to deer calls with deer to environment calls of any type and is a social call to white tails when used alone. Here are some of the many combinations my device can be used with.

• • 1. The Complete Deer Calling System is a call by itself
  • 2. A rattle bag and The Complete Deer Call System.
  • 3. A buck grunt and The Complete Deer Call System.
  • 4. A doe grunt and The Complete Deer Call System.
  • 5. A doe bleat and The Complete Deer Call System.
  • 6. A fawn bleat and The Complete Deer Call System.
  • 7. A nut cruncher and The Complete Deer Call System.

For the first time in the deer call market, a call that can produce deer to environment sounds is offered to hunters that is light weight, easy to transport, easy to use and can be used with the many of deer to deer calls hunters already own and love to use. It will be offered at an affordable price because it has no mechanical or electrical components and is ready to use on demand. But the most unique advantage of my device is that it is left up to the hunter on how one may wish to apply this system to their calling technique. Hunters can decide when to use it, how long to use it and can change the application of the call on demand. My device leaves it up to the individual to be as spontaneous as one may wish and use my device to duplicate the many different scenarios that exist in the white tails world thus completing ones calling technique.
