Abstract
A system and method for providing floating decoys is described. The system includes a mechanism for moving tethered decoys in a motion that mimics the natural movement of floating waterfowl. The mechanism includes a motor that moves one end of the tether in a circular, or approximately circular motion along the surface of the water. The decoys then move back and forth on the surface of the water.
Claims25
A decoy system for moving decoys on the surface of a body of water, said decoy system comprising:
- a first stake assembly for placing in the ground;
- a second stake assembly for placing in the ground;
- a line extending from a first end attached to said first stake assembly and a second end attached to said second stake assembly;
- a mechanism that moves said first line end in a direction that is at least partially perpendicular to the line at said first line end;
- and
- one or more decoys attached to said line,
- such that, when said first stake assembly and said second stake assembly are placed in the ground, said one or more decoys float on the surface of the water, and
- such that, when said mechanism moves said first line end, at least one of said one or more decoys move in a direction at least partially perpendicular to the line near said at least one decoy.
A decoy system for moving decoys on the surface of a body of water, said decoy system comprising:
- a line having a first end and a second end;
- one or more floating decoys attached to said line;
- and
- a mechanism that moves said first end in a direction that is at least partially perpendicular to the line at said first line end,
- such that, when said mechanism moves said first line end, at least one of said one or more decoys move in a direction at least partially perpendicular to the line near said at least one decoy.
A method of moving decoys on the surface of a body of water, said method comprising
- placing one or more tethered floating decoys on the water, where the tether includes a first end and a second end;
- and
- moving said first end in a direction that is at least partially perpendicular to said line at said first end,
- such that at least one of said one or more decoys move in a direction at least partially perpendicular to the line near said at least one decoy.
