Patent number: 6991784Abstract: The present invention is a lure optimized for a particular animal such as deer. The optimized lure is made using urine from only two animals urinating at approximately the same time. The animals can be either male or female, but preferably, females in estrus are used for optimal results. This mixture of urine is not diluted in any manner with that of additional animals or preservatives. The urine for the lure is obtained by using a single stall exclusively for only two animals for the purpose of gathering urine. This technique has been especially effective in attracting wandering bucks in rut.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2000Date of Patent: January 31, 2006Assignee: Doc's Deer Farm and ScentsInventor: Keith Ainsley
