Abstract
A decoy body that is configured with one or more flutter assemblies that make the decoy appear as though the wings/feathers are moving. The flutter assemblies include a suspension arm and lightweight flutter elements configured to be operable in very low wind conditions. The flutter assembly can be used on new or existing decoys. Movement of the wings attracts live game to the decoy spread.
Claims20
A decoy for attracting a desired game animal, comprising:
- a decoy body shaped to correspond to the desired game animal;
- a pair of suspension arms, each having a first end and a second end, the first end movably attachable to the decoy body to orient the second end of the pair of suspension arms laterally outwardly from the decoy body;
- and
- a flutter element attached to the second end of the pair of suspension arms via a swivel for rotational movement of the flutter element responsive to a wind condition.

A decoy for attracting a game animal, comprising:
- a decoy body shaped to correspond to the game animal with a mounting point positioned proximal to a neck of the game animal;
- a flutter assembly removably coupled to the decoy body at the mounting point, the flutter assembly having at least one suspension arm that is selectively positionable relative to the decoy body;
- the at least one suspension arm is substantially straight along a longitudinal length and has a profile that elevates from a proximal end and diverges outwardly towards a distal end;
- and
- a flutter element attached to the distal end of the at least one suspension arm and configured for rotational movement of the flutter element responsive to a wind condition.

A decoy for attracting a desired game animal, comprising:
- a decoy body shaped to correspond to the desired game animal;
- a pair of suspension arms removably attached to the decoy body with each of the pair of suspension arms diverging outwardly from an opposite side of the decoy body;
- an attachment point defined proximal to head end of the decoy body, the attachment point adapted to receive a proximal end of each of the pair of suspension arms;
- and
- a flutter element attached to a distal end of each of the pair of suspension arms and coupled for rotational movement of the flutter element responsive to a wind condition.
