Abstract
A deer conditioning system uses a feeder that has a lid that automatically opens at a specified time, namely the start of hunting hours, and closes at a specified time, the end of hunting hours. When the lid is open, the system dispenses a deer pleasing stimuli so as to attract deer, the deer being rewarded by the contents of the feeder for responding to the stimuli. Alternately, in a typical always open feeder, either a deer attracting stimuli dispenser is provided and is programmed to release stimuli during hunting hours or a deer repulsing stimuli dispenser is provided and programmed to release stimuli during non-hunting hours upon motion being detected proximate the feeder via a motion detector, or both types of dispensers are provided and appropriately programmed.
Claims28
A conditioning system comprising:
- a game feeder having a lid that is capable of opening and closing via the operation of a motor;
- a dispenser located proximate the feeder and capable of releasing a deer attracting stimuli;
- a programmable controller operationally connected to the motor and to the dispenser such that the controller is programmed to activate the motor at a first specified time so as to open the lid and to activate the motor at a second specified time so as to close the lid and such that the controller causes the dispenser to release the stimuli whenever the lid is open;
- and
- a battery electrically connected to the motor.
A conditioning system comprising:
- a dispenser adapted to be located proximate a deer feeder and capable of releasing a deer repulsing stimuli;
- a motion detector operationally connected to the dispenser;
- a programmable controller operationally connected to the dispenser such that the controller is programmed to activate the dispenser at a first specified time and to deactivate the dispenser at a second specified time such that the controller causes the dispenser to release the stimuli whenever the motion detector detects a motion;
- and
- a battery electrically connected to controller.
A conditioning system comprising:
- a first dispenser adapted to be located proximate a deer feeder and capable of releasing a first stimuli;
- a programmable controller operationally connected to the first dispenser such that the controller is programmed to activate the first dispenser at a first specified time and to deactivate the dispenser at a second specified time;
- and
- a battery electrically connected to the controller.
A dispenser that releases a deer repulsing or a deer attracting stimuli at specific programmable times adapted to be located proximate a game feeding station in order to become associated with the feeding station via classical and operant conditioning.
