Turkey-related patents
In the United States, people celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of every November. According to Wikipedia, the holiday marks a celebration to give thanks to God and to the Native Americans who taught the pilgrims how to harvest food to survive winters.
In modern times, Thanksgiving is often marked by shopping before the break of dawn and eating nothing but turkey for four consecutive days. Most of us have long forgotten how to harvest in any way except by purchasing prepackaged foods. Although every grocer and butcher is stocked with a seemingly endless supply of turkeys, whether ready-to-cook or pre-cooked, some people still prefer to shoot their own. If you are one of them, you may be interested in the many patents that are directed to turkey calls. There is even a design patent for a gun-mounted turkey call so that you won't have to fumble with your hands while on the hunt.
Happy thanksgiving!
