Abstract
A deer attraction apparatus is disclosed herein. The deer attraction apparatus can be used for securing a tree branch to a structure so a deer can lick or scrape the branch. The deer attraction apparatus includes a base piece and a branch holder extending from the base piece. The branch holder is adjustable to change the angle of the branch holder via a screw and wingnut affixing the branch holder to the base piece. The tree branch can be secured within the branch holder with thumb screws for adjusting based on the size of the tree branch. Attachments to the base allow the deer attraction apparatus to be secured to a structure, such as a tree or a post with a strap or screws, or an auger screwed into the ground.

Abstract
The invention provides an animal feeder augmentation apparatus, system and method of operation thereof. The apparatus provides for the controlled dispensing of animal feed from an animal feeder including a controller coupled to an actuator, where the controller provides power access from a battery to at least two communication modules, namely a low-power communications module and at least a first higher-power communications module. The low-power communication module includes a low-energy radio for substantially continuous operation when the animal feeder is being used. The first higher-power communications module includes a cellular telecommunications device for operation when the animal feeder needs to send or receive data outside of the range of the low-power communications module. The controller is coupled to the low-power communications module, and to the first higher-power communications module.

Abstract
An improved bladed fishing jig is provided. The bladed jig comprises a hook joined to a wire form. A blade mounting section of the wire extends beyond the hook eye. A metal core is molded around portions of the hook and wire form, and the blade mounting section extends from the metal core. A blade is attached by inserting the blade mounting section of the wire into a mounting through hole near the bottom of the blade. A plastic exterior is molded around the metal core and has a blade slot formed between front and back slot walls. The blade mounting section transverses the blade slot from the front to the back slot wall. The blade is locked on the wire in the blade slot. The blade includes an attachment for a fishing line and oscillates from side to side as the jig is retrieved through the water.
