Abstract:
A deer repelling and training device comprising a field unit having protective housing means and having attractant means, and having means to maintain a predetermined voltage across a plurality of bare, alternating positive and negative electrodes, and having support means to position said device in a protected area and to support said attractant means and said electrodes, and having said electrodes arranged so that said deer drawn by the scent of said attractant will touch said electrodes and will complete the circuit between said electrodes and so receive an electric shock;and with the improvement comprising said deer repelling and training device having an improved configuration of said electrodes with said alternating positive and negative electrodes being substantially semicircular shaped and with said positive and negative electrodes being sized and spaced such that they are substantially parallel and have a substantially constant distance between them and form a substantially hemispherical shape which encloses said attractant means, whereby having said improved electrode configuration functions to provide an approximately even chance that said deer will make simultaneous contact with said positive and said negative electrodes, regardless of the angle or direction of said deer's approach, or of the size of said deer, and with said deer repelling and training device functioning to deter said deer from said protected area.
