A deer attractant including: an expandable visual indicator; and a cover adapted to slide over the visual indicator. The device is transitionable between a first state and a second state, so that when the device is in the first state, the cover compresses and encloses the visual indicator, and when the device is in the second state, the visual indicator is expanded and exposed, thereby attracting the animal. The visual indicator is a compressible bellows that urges itself to expand when not compressed by the cover. The device includes a vocal call that produces an audio signal when the device transitions from the first state into the second state.

1. A device for attracting an animal, comprising: an expandable visual indicator; anda cover adapted to slide over the visual indicator;wherein the device is transitionable between a first state and a second state, so that when the device is in the first state, the cover compresses and encloses the visual indicator, and when the device is in the second state, the visual indicator is expanded and exposed, thereby attracting the animal; andwherein the visual indicator is a compressible bellows that urges itself to expand when not compressed by the cover. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the cover is a first tube having a central axis and the visual indicator has a first end and a second end, the device further comprising: a second tube, having a smaller diameter than the diameter of the first tube, the second tube having the same central axis as the first tube and attaching to the first end of the visual indicator, so that the first tube slides along the second tube to alternately hide or expose the second end of the visual indicator and transition the device between the first state and the second state. 3. The device of claim 1, further comprising: a bolt attached to an end of the device to attach the device to the earth and to retain the device in a generally vertical orientation, so that gravity urges the cover to slide over the visual indicator and urge the device into the first state. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein when the device is in the second state, the visual indicator is exposed so as to be visible from 360 degrees around the device. 5. The device of claim 1, further comprising: a cord attached to the cover, the cord adapted to slide the cover from the first state into the second state, thereby exposing the visual indicator. 6. The device of claim 1, further comprising: a vocal call that produces an audio signal when the device transitions from the first state into the second state, thereby attracting the animal. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the cover is colored so as to camouflage the cover from the animal. 8. The device of claim 1, further comprising: a water tight end cap to prevent rain from entering onto the cover when the device is in the first state. 9. A device for attracting an animal, comprising: an expandable visual indicator; anda cover adapted to slide over the visual indicator;wherein the device is transitionable between a first state and a second state, so that when the device is in the first state, the cover compresses and encloses the visual indicator, and when the device is in the second state, the visual indicator is expanded and exposed, thereby attracting the animal; andwherein the cover is camouflaged so as not to be visible to a deer and the visual indicator is an expandable bellows having a surface that is colored so as to provide a visual indicator that attracts the deer. 10. A device comprising: an expandable bellows;a visual indicator on the bellows;a first tube adapted to slide over and cover the bellows; anda second tube to support the device, the second tube having a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the first tube;wherein the first tube slides over the second tube to transition between a closed position and an open position, so that when the first tube is in the closed position, the first tube compresses and encloses the bellows and hides the visual indicator, and when the first tube is in the open position, the bellows is expanded and exposes the visual indicator. 11. The device of claim 10, wherein the second tube is attached to a first end of the bellows, so that the first tube slides along the second tube to alternately enclose or expose a second end of the bellows, thereby transitioning the first tube between the closed position and the open position. 12. The device of claim 10, further comprising: a bolt attached to an end of the second tube that retains the device in a generally upright position, so that gravity helps slide the first tube into the closed position. 13. The device of claim 10, further comprising: a cord to slide the first tube from the closed position into the open position. 14. The device of claim 10, further comprising: a vocal call that produces an audio signal when the first tube slides from the closed position into the open position.
