Abstract
The present invention relates to a device designed to both store and dispense liquid scent, and, more particularly, to an animal liquid scent dispenser. The device includes a container having a generally hollow interior, a side wall, a closed end, an open end and a cover hingedly attached to the container. Within the container, a basket holds an absorbent body which retains the liquid scent. The basket is connected by tether to a fastening ring, which allows the device to be secured to an external object, such as a tree branch for support, when in use. The cover is provided to secure and seal the open end of the container to prevent loss of the scent or liquid. Alternatively, the cover may be removed from the container to permit scent to be released from the open end of the container.
