Abstract
A portable, convenient scent dispenser and method of operation allows the user to quickly change scents used therein as desired while hunting. A scent receptacle mounted in the lower end of a cylindrical housing is removable for replacing or exchanging scented materials. The scent dispenser provides a cylindrically-shaped housing having a removable cap containing microcontrolled electrical circuitry which includes mode indicators and a select switch. The lower body of the housing contains a battery assembly and an electric fan. The scent dispenser can be manually, selectively operated in a variety of modes to allow the fan to run continuously, cyclically, or cyclically only during daylight hours for economical power consumption.
