The remote activated moveable animal decoy system may include an animal decoy; a motor; a mounting rod, configured to be coupled to the motor at a first end of the mounting rod and to the animal decoy at a second end of the mounting rod, and wherein the motor is configured to impart motion to the rod, and thereby the animal decoy, upon actuation of the motor; a power source, wherein the power source is configured to provide power to the motor; a base, wherein the base is configured for supporting the remote activated moveable animal decoy system upon a ground surface, and wherein one or more of the motor, the power source, a communications interface, and/or a controller is housed within the base; and a remote activation device, wherein the remote activation device is configured to actuate the motor remotely. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A remote activated moveable animal decoy system comprising: a. an animal decoy; b. a motor; c. a mounting rod, wherein the mounting rod is configured to be coupled to the motor at a first end of the mounting rod and to the animal decoy at a second end of the mounting rod, and wherein the motor is configured to impart motion to the rod, and thereby the animal decoy, upon actuation of the motor; d. a power source, wherein the power source is configured to provide power to the motor; e. a base, wherein the base is configured for supporting the remote activated moveable animal decoy system upon a ground surface, and wherein one or more of the motor, the power source, a communications interface, and/or a controller is housed within the base; and f. a remote activation device, wherein the remote activation device is configured to actuate the motor remotely. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the motor comprise a servo motor. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the power source comprises a battery pack. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the base comprises one or more anchor mechanisms for anchoring the system to a ground surface. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the animal decoy comprises a turkey decoy. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the animal decoy is removable from the connecting rod. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the motor is configured to move the connecting rod between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the connecting rod is generally vertical and substantially perpendicular to a ground surface and in the second position the connecting rod is at an angle less than 90 degrees relative to the ground surface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the motor is configured to move the connecting rod from a first position to a second position and then back and forth between the second position and a third position, wherein in the first position the connecting rod is generally vertical and substantially perpendicular to a ground surface, in the second position the connecting rod is at an angle less than 90 degrees relative to the ground surface, and in the third position the connecting rod is at an angle relative to the ground surface between that of the first position of the connecting rod and that of the second position of the connecting rod. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the animal decoy comprises a slit formed in its underside, wherein the connecting rod passes therethrough when installed thereon, and wherein the slit is configured to allow the animal decoy to rock forward and backward the width of the slit, as well as up and down, as the connecting rod is moved back and forth between the second position and third position. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the up and down and backward and forward movement of the animal decoy mimics an animal's head bobbing up and down during feeding. ### Claim 11 A method of using an animal attracting system, comprising: a. providing an animal attracting system, comprising: i. an animal decoy; ii. a motor; iii. a mounting rod, wherein the mounting rod is configured to be coupled to the motor at a first end of the mounting rod and to the animal decoy at a second end of the mounting rod, and wherein the motor is configured to impart motion to the rod, and thereby the animal decoy, upon actuation of the motor; iv. a power source, wherein the power source is configured to provide power to the motor; v. a base, wherein the base is configured for supporting the remote activated moveable animal decoy system upon a ground surface, and wherein one or more of the motor, the power source, a communications interface, and/or a controller is housed within the base; and vi. a remote activation device, wherein the remote activation device is configured to actuate the motor remotely; b. positioning the animal attracting system in a desired location; and c. actuating the animal attracting system via the remote activation device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the motor comprise a servo motor. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the power source comprises a battery pack. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the base comprises one or more anchor mechanisms for anchoring the system to a ground surface. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the animal decoy comprises a turkey decoy. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the animal decoy is removable from the connecting rod. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the motor is configured to move the connecting rod between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the connecting rod is generally vertical and substantially perpendicular to a ground surface and in the second position the connecting rod is at an angle less than 90 degrees relative to the ground surface. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the motor is configured to move the connecting rod from a first position to a second position and then back and forth between the second position and a third position, wherein in the first position the connecting rod is generally vertical and substantially perpendicular to a ground surface, in the second position the connecting rod is at an angle less than 90 degrees relative to the ground surface, and in the third position the connecting rod is at an angle relative to the ground surface between that of the first position of the connecting rod and that of the second position of the connecting rod. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein the animal decoy comprises a slit formed in its underside, wherein the connecting rod passes therethrough when installed thereon, and wherein the slit is configured to allow the animal decoy to rock forward and backward the width of the slit, as well as up and down, as the connecting rod is moved back and forth between the second position and third position. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein the up and down and backward and forward movement of the animal decoy mimics an animal's head bobbing up and down during feeding.
