09826731 · 2017-11-28 ·

A decoy system comprises a decoy, a ground support comprising a ground engaging portion and an upstanding post, and a flexible line coupled to the decoy so as to vertically move the decoy along the upstanding post in response to being pulled. In another implementation, a decoy support for supporting a wild fowl decoy includes a ground support comprising a ground engaging portion and an upstanding post. A rotatable decoy support member is rotatably connected to the ground support and to be fixed to the decoy. The rotatable support member is rotatable about a vertical axis and comprises a lever radially extending from the vertical axis. First and second flexible lines are coupled to the lever and are guided by first and second line guides such that alternate pulling of the first and second flexible members rotate the rotatable decoy support member and the decoy in alternate directions.

DECOY DEPLOYMENT AND WATER FOWL RETRIEVAL APPARATUS
20170332621 · 2017-11-23 ·

A decoy deployment and water fowl retrieval apparatus and method. The apparatus has a flotation frame configured with a motor providing propulsion and directional control to the frame. One or more water fowl decoys may be attached to the frame. The flotation frame has a forwardly facing opening and a net disposed to scoop a downed waterfowl into the scoop. The apparatus is controlled by a radio frequency remote controller. The apparatus may tow one or more decoys in a decoy display to a desired position. The apparatus may also be operated as a decoy to simulate water fowl swimming on a body of water.

A moving wing waterfowl or migratory bird decoy including a decoy body constructed of a predetermined material with exterior ornamentation to simulate a live waterfowl or migratory bird, the decoy body being arranged in a predetermined orientation to simulate a waterfowl or migratory bird, the decoy body having a top and a bottom. The decoy has at least one decoy wing connected to the decoy body, the decoy wing being constructed and arranged to simulate the wing of a waterfowl or migratory bird. The decoy body is constructed and arranged of a particular plastic material to hyper-realistically resemble a waterfowl or migratory bird. The control and power module is plug and play software controllable. The decoy is mountable on a male type member post via a female type receptacle on the decoy body. The decoy has a biased stabilizer cord that also mimics the legs of the waterfowl or migratory bird.

A decoy device is constructed of a lightweight foam material formed as a planar decoy blank. The decoy body is easily foldable from a flat configuration to a buoyant three-dimensional decoy. The decoy body is releasably secured in the three-dimensional condition via an attachment means. A double-headed element is included having a male gender at one end and a female gender at an opposing end thereof. The body and double-headed element include opposing sides, each adorned with markings such that they resemble a particular wild game species, including gender, desired for exposed representation.

TURKEY HUNTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
20220053754 · 2022-02-24 · ·

Rather than trying to call a gobbler and waiting for the gobbler to approach, the hunter instead attempts to seek a gobbler while holding a decoy. As the hunter comes within sight of the gobbler, he can slowly move (e.g., tilt and/or rotate) the decoy so that its fan moves in a manner that mimics movement of a real turkey. It has been found that the gobbler will often fixate on the decoy failing to notice the hunter even when he is not well camouflaged. In fact, the gobbler will often approach the decoy in an aggressive manner making it much less wary than in a typical hunt where a hunter is attempting to make calls that imitate a hen. When the hunter feels that the gobbler is fixated on the decoy, he can couple the decoy to his weapon thereby freeing both of his hands for operating his weapon.
