Animal decoy and method for making same

Abstract

A decoy assembly and a method for making same includes a lightweight planar member contoured in the form of the silhouette of a large game animal. The planar member has two opposing faces. A visually and graphically accurate rendition of a large game animal is applied to each face of the planar member. The planar member is foldable so as to reduce the bulk of the decoy assembly. It also includes an aperture for suspending one or more of the assemblies from a hunter's belt. When unfolded, the decoy assembly is held open by use of a generally U-shaped clip that is attached to the planar member at the point of the fold. Toward the top of the planar member, a second aperture is provided for suspending the decoy from a tree branch or the like. Toward the rearward portion of the decoy, a pair of scent holes is provided. One scent hole is functionally adapted to receive a scent canister within it. The other scent hold is functionally adapted to receive a felt scent wick within it. A pair of support rods may be provided to make the decoy free standing.
