Decoy apparatus

Abstract

An apparatus for imparting motion to a decoy such as, for example, a bird decoy is disclosed and includes a frame positionable on the ground and an upwardly extending support structure having a first end connected to the frame and a second end configured for attachment to the underbelly region of the decoy. In one embodiment, the frame defines a circle lying in a plane surface, and the support structure comprises a first member that extends a first length inward from the frame toward the center of the circle and a second member that extends a second length away from the plane surface at substantially a right angle. Back and forth or circular movement of the decoy occurs in response to wind imparting a force on the decoy, with the frequency and amplitude of movement of the decoy being adjustable through adjustment of the lengths of the first and second members.
