Device to attract deer

A deer attracting device comprising:

• a base adapted to be supported from below by a ground surface;
• a flexible column extending upwardly from the base, wherein the flexible column defines a lower end secured to the base and an upper end spaced upwardly therefrom, wherein the flexible column defines an axial passage and is configured to flex laterally relative to the base;
• a lock carried by the upper end of the flexible column and defining a locked position and an unlocked position and defining a passage therethrough in communication with the passage of the flexible column;
• and
• a visual lure extending upwardly from the base for viewing by deer, wherein the visual lure includes a lower portion that extends through the passage of the lock and at least partially into the passage of the flexible column, wherein the lower portion of the visual lure is removably held by the lock such that (i) in the locked position, the lock retains the lower portion of the visual lure within the lock passage and at least partially within the passage of the flexible column, and (ii) in the unlocked position, the lock permits withdrawal of the visual lure therefrom.

A deer attracting device comprising:

• a base adapted to be supported from below by a ground surface, wherein the base defines an upwardly facing surface and a downwardly facing surface configured for engagement with the ground surface;
• a flexible column extending upwardly from the upwardly facing surface of the base, wherein the flexible column has an upper end and defines an axial passage extending axially into the flexible column from the upper end, and wherein the base defines ground engaging portions located laterally outwardly of the flexible column, wherein the flexible column is configured to flex laterally over the ground engaging portions of the base;
• a ground securement arrangement associated with the ground engaging portions of the base and configured to secure the base to the ground surface;
• and
• a lock arranged at the upper end of the flexible column and defining a passage therethrough in communication with the passage of the flexible column;
• wherein the passages of the lock and the flexible column are adapted to receive a visual lure having a lower end portion that can extend through the passage of the lock and at least partially into the passage of the flexible column and an upper portion extending upwardly from the upper end of the flexible column, wherein the flexible column and the lock are arranged with respect to each other to selectively hold the lower end portion of the visual lure within the passage of the lock and within the axial passage of the flexible column.
