Novelty deer head

Abstract

A novelty deer head includes a simulated deer head; a base adapted to mount to a structure that retains the deer head; an activator that activates the device; and a sound generator that, when the device is activated, simulates sounds made by deer. The sounds may include a deer snorting or a deer's antlers rattling. The sounds may be produced by a speaker or from antlers that actually rattle.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A device comprises:
 a simulated deer head;   a base adapted to mount to a structure that retains the deer head;   an activator that activates the device; and   a sound generator that, when the device is activated, simulates sounds made by deer.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sounds include a simulation of a deer snorting. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sounds include a simulation of a deer's antlers rattling. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a speaker that produces the sounds.   
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 antlers on the deer head that rattle to simulate the sounds of a deer's antlers rattling   
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the activator includes a push button that activates the device when the button is pushed. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a mouth on the deer that opens and closes in synchronization with the sounds.   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an actuator arm that causes at least a portion of the deer head to move in synchronization with the sounds.   
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a label that identifies a name to be associated with the deer.   
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device makes the sounds that a typical deer makes. 
     
     
         11 . A device comprises:
 a head that models the head of an animal;   a base adapted to mount to a structure that retains the head;   an activator that activates the device; and   a sound generator that, when the device is activated, simulates sounds made by the animal.   
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the animal is a trophy animal. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the animal is selected from the list consisting of: deer, boar, and turkeys.
