Abstract

The present invention relates to animal scent attractants. More particularly, the present invention relates to a composition of matter for amplifying and preserving animal scents. Fox urine, coyote urine, deer urine, elk urine, moose urine, bear urine, rabbit urine, fish oils, and sheep manure are examples of substances which can be used with the present invention.

Claims

1. A composition of matter for amplifying animal scents, consisting essentially of:

(a) calcium carbonate, wherein said calcium carbonate is present in said composition in an amount between about 80-99% by weight,

(b) magnesium carbonate,

(c) crystalline silica, and

(d) liquid animal scent.

2. A composition of matter according to claim 1, wherein said calcium carbonate is present in said composition in an amount between about 85-95% by weight.

3. A composition of matter according to claim 1, wherein said magnesium carbonate is present in said composition in an amount between about 1-2% by weight.

4. A composition of matter according to claim 1, wherein said magnesium carbonate is present in said composition in an amount between about 7-9% by weight.

5. A composition of matter according to claim 1, wherein said crystalline silica is present in said composition in an amount of about 0.8% by weight.

6. A composition of matter according to claim 1, wherein said liquid animal scent is present in said composition in an amount between about 5-10% by weight.

7. A composition of matter according to claim 1, further comprising sodium chloride, wherein said sodium chloride is present in said composition in an amount between about 0.5-7% by weight.

8. A composition of matter according to claim 1, wherein said animal scent is selected from the group consisting of fox urine, coyote urine, deer urine, elk urine, moose urine, bear urine, rabbit urine, and fish oil.

9. A composition of matter for amplifying animal scents, consisting essentially of:

(a) calcium carbonate, wherein said calcium carbonate is in said composition in an amount between about 80-99% by weight,

(b) crystalline silica,

(c) magnesium carbonate, and

(d) Freeze-dried animal scent.

10. The composition of matter according to claim 9, wherein said calcium carbonate is in said composition in an amount between about 85-95% by weight.

11. A composition of matter according to claim 9, wherein said crystalline silica is in said composition of matter in an amount of about 0.8% by weight.

12. A composition of matter according to claim 9, wherein said magnesium carbonate is in said composition of matter in an amount between about 1-2% by weight.

13. A composition of matter according to claim 9, wherein said magnesium carbonate is in said composition of matter in an amount between about 7-9% by weight.

14. A composition of matter according to claim 9, wherein said animal scent is in said composition in an amount between about 5-10% by weight.

15. A composition of matter according to claim 9, wherein said animal scent is selected from the group consisting of freeze dried fox urine, freeze dried deer urine, freeze dried elk urine, freeze dried moose urine, freeze dried bear urine, freeze dried rabbit urine, freeze dried fish oil, and freeze dried sheep manure.
