A scent dispersal apparatus includes a housing having an aperture for permitting gaseous communication between an interior of the housing and an ambient atmosphere. The scent dispersal apparatus also includes a gaseous flow device provided for generating a gaseous stream, and a scent reservoir. The gaseous flow device selectively entrains molecules of a scent disposed within the scent reservoir to form a scent laden gaseous stream, the scent laden gaseous stream being exhausted through the aperture to the ambient atmosphere.

1. A scent dispersal apparatus, comprising:a housing having an aperture for permitting gaseous communication between an interior of said housing and an ambient atmosphere; a gaseous flow device for generating a gaseous stream; a scent reservoir, wherein said gaseous flow device selectively entrains molecules of a scent disposed within said scent reservoir to form a scent laden gaseous stream, said scent laden gaseous stream being exhausted through said aperture to said ambient atmosphere; and wherein said gaseous flow device directs said gaseous stream to said scent reservoir via a first conduit extending from said gaseous flow device to said scent reservoir, said first conduit including a valve assembly for selectively isolating said scent reservoir from fluid communication with said gaseous flow device. 2. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:said gaseous flow device is one of a blower and a pressurized gas source. 3. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:said scent laden gaseous stream is exhausted to said ambient atmosphere via a second conduit extending from said scent reservoir to said aperture. 4. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:said valve assembly includes a handle extending through an exterior wall of said housing, wherein selective manipulation of said handle causes said valve assembly to occupy one of an open and a closed position. 5. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:said scent is one of a liquid and a solid animal scent; and said animal scent is one of a natural and a synthetic animal scent. 6. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:said gaseous flow device is powered by a battery that is disposed within said housing, said battery being accessible via a battery door formed in said housing. 7. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:said housing includes an air intake opening for providing ambient air to said gaseous flow device; and said air intake opening includes louvers. 8. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:a plurality of support legs mounted on a bottom of said housing. 9. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:an access door formed in an exterior wall of said housing for permitting access to said scent reservoir, said access door including a latch assembly for securing said access door in a closed position. 10. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 3, wherein:said scent reservoir is a jar that is threadedly engagable with a lid; and said lid is fixed within said housing and includes a first passage through which said first conduit extends and a second passage through which said second conduit extends. 11. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 10, wherein:said scent is a liquid animal scent; said first conduit has a distal end extending adjacent to a bottom of said jar, thereby directing said gaseous stream through said liquid animal scent; and said second conduit has a distal end disposed adjacent to a top of said jar and out of contact with said liquid animal scent, thereby permitting the exhaustion of said scent laden gaseous stream to said ambient atmosphere. 12. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:said housing includes an arcuate exterior wall. 13. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:said housing includes insulated exterior walls. 14. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:a operation switch mounted on said housing for selective activation of said gaseous flow device. 15. A scent dispersal apparatus, comprising:a housing having a first compartment and a second compartment, said first compartment accommodating a gaseous flow device for generating a gaseous stream and said second compartment accommodating a scent reservoir for holding liquid animal scent; a first conduit extending from said gaseous flow device and into said scent reservoir, said first conduit having a distal end submerged within said liquid animal scent and disposed adjacent a bottom of said scent reservoir; a second conduit extending from said scent reservoir and through an aperture in an exterior wall of said housing, said second conduit having a distal end disposed within said scent reservoir yet above the level of said liquid animal scent; and wherein said gaseous flow device directs said gaseous stream through said second conduit and into said liquid animal scent, thereby entraining molecules of said liquid animal scent and forming a scent laden gaseous stream which is exhausted to an ambient atmosphere via said second conduit. 16. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 15, further comprising:a battery disposed within said housing for supplying power to said gaseous flow device; and a battery door formed in an exterior wall of said housing for providing access to said battery. 17. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 16, wherein:said battery is one of a 9 volt and a 12 volt battery. 18. The scent dispersal apparatus according to claim 15, further comprising:a operation switch mounted on said housing for selective activation of said gaseous flow device; and said first conduit includes a valve assembly for selectively isolating said scent reservoir from fluid communication with said gaseous flow device.
