The wildlife attractor device may include a tail, a mounting surface positioned adjacent to the tail that is capable of mounting the attractor device to a support structure, and a control assembly connected to the tail. The control assembly is preferably capable of moving the tail between a first position and a second position thereby attracting the attention of wildlife such as a deer. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An attractor device comprising: a tail; a mounting surface positioned adjacent to said tail, said mounting surface capable of mounting said tail to a support structure; and a control assembly connected to said tail, said control assembly capable of moving said tail between a first position and a second position, said control assembly comprises an arm for attaching to said tail and a unitary casing comprising a front casing and a back casing wherein said front casing is removably secured to said back casing to define an interior volume therebetween, said unitary casing comprises a control unit, a motor, and a power supply, wherein said control unit, motor, and power supply are enclosed within said interior volume of said unitary casing when said front and back casing are secured, said control unit controls said motor and said motor is connected to said arm, said front casing is adjacent to said mounting surface and said back casing comprising a smaller interior compartment formed from contiguous walls extending from the back wall of said back casing into the interior of the unitary casing, said power supply being inserted into said interior compartment for securing the power supply and the control unit within said unitary casing. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The attractor device of claim 1 wherein said tail is for attracting wildlife. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The attractor device of claim 2 wherein said tail is a reproduction of a deer tail and said attractor device is for attracting deer. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The attractor device of claim 3 wherein said mounting surface includes an image of a backside of a deer. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The attractor device of claim 1 wherein said mounting surface comprises a strap for attaching said tail to said support structure. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The attractor device of claim 1 wherein when said motor is on, said tail moves between said first position and said second position. ### Claim 7 An attractor device comprising: a tail capable of being mounted to a support structure; and a control assembly connected to said tail, said control assembly comprises a unitary casing and an arm; said unitary casing comprising a front casing and a back casing, said unitary casing further comprising: a control unit for powering said control assembly; a motor controlled by said control unit and having a gear coil extending therefrom, said gear coil adjacent to a rotatable gear assembly; and a power supply; wherein said arm is secured to said gear assembly; said control unit, motor, and power supply are enclosed within said unitary casing, said back casing comprising a smaller interior compartment formed from contiguous walls extending from the back wall of said back casing into the interior of the unitary casing, said power supply being inserted into said interior compartment for securing the power supply and the control unit within said unitary casing, wherein when said motor is on and said tail is affixed to said arm, said gear coil rotates and connects with gears of said gear assembly causing said gear assembly to rotate, wherein when said gear assembly rotates, said arm rotates causing said tail to move. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The attractor device of claim 7 wherein said control assembly further comprises a motion arm adjuster having a turntable and a pin. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The attractor device of claim 8 wherein said arm moves respective to said pin. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The attractor device of claim 8 wherein said gear assembly comprises a shaft secured to said motion arm adjuster, said shaft causing said motion arm adjuster to move respective to said rotatable gear assembly. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The attractor device of claim 7 wherein said tail is for attracting wildlife. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The attractor device of claim 11 wherein said tail is a reproduction of a deer tail and said attractor device is for attracting deer. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The attractor device of claim 7 wherein said attractor device further comprises a mounting surface positioned adjacent to said tail and capable of mounting said tail to said support structure. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The attractor device of claim 13 wherein said mounting surface includes an image of the backside of an animal. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The attractor device of claim 13 wherein said mounting surface comprises a strap for attaching said tail to said support structure. ### Claim 16 (depends on 7) The attractor device of claim 7 wherein when said motor is on, said tail moves between a first position and a second position. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The attractor device of claim 16 wherein said control unit comprises a manual on/off switch. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The attractor device of claim 16 wherein said control unit is operated by a remote control. ### Claim 19 (depends on 7) The attractor device of claim 7 wherein said attractor device further comprises said support structure. ### Claim 20 An attractor device comprising: an arm; a tail secured to said arm; a control assembly connected to said arm and comprising a unitary casing having a front casing and a back casing wherein said front casing is removably secured to said back casing to define an interior volume therebetween, said unitary casing further comprising a control unit, a motor, and a power supply, wherein said control unit, motor, and power supply are enclosed within said interior volume of said unitary casing when said front and back casing are secured, said back casing comprising a smaller interior compartment formed from contiguous walls extending from the back wall of said back casing into the interior of the unitary casing, said power supply being inserted into said interior compartment for securing the power supply and control unit within said unitary casing, said control assembly capable of moving said tail between a first position and a second position; and a remote control device for operating said control assembly; wherein said tail looks like the tail of an animal and is for attracting wildlife. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The attractor device of claim 20 further comprising a mounting surface, wherein said front casing is adjacent to said mounting surface and said back casing is for positioning adjacent to a support structure.
