Patent ID: 11566205

Abstract:
A scented compound is configured to release a scent of a target animal. The compound includes glucomannan, carrageenan, water, an animal-sourced additive, and glycerine. The scented compound undergoes syneresis thereby releasing over time at least a portion of the animal-sourced additive. The animal-sourced additive is preferably the only animal-sourced ingredient of the compound. The scented compound preferably does not contain gelatin. The animal-sourced additive may be urine. The animal-sourced additive may be blood. The compound is targeted toward a particular type of animal by inclusion of a specific animal-sourced additive. The compound is useful for attracting the targeted specific animal for hunting and/or game observation and tracking, and for use in training hunting dogs, for example when loaded into a ball. Other than the animal-sourced additive, the scented compound and its ingredients are free of gelatin, which is a collagen taken from animal body parts.
