ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a portable device for use by hunters, photographers, and others for luring wildlife into close proximity. The device plays back digitally recorded wildlife sounds. The digitally recorded sounds when played back have a uniquely clear characterization such that they sound like authentic wildlife sounds. The device is generally cylindrically shaped, having a speaker mounted in the top portion thereof. To actuate the sounds, the user merely presses upon the speaker grill, forcing the speaker into the housing, upon which the speaker engages a spring biased switch thereby starting the playback of the digitally recorded wildlife sounds. Another is provided to selectively choose the animal sound desired from a myriad of predetermined animal sounds. The device operates on a battery power supply, further enhancing portability.
