Abstract
While hunting or birdwatching, a user is able to deploy a male decoy remotely from a blind after the sole use of the female decoy has failed to attract the target animal. The device for luring the target animal towards a location includes a substantially planar fan which is kept in a concealed position until a mechanism releases a biasing element configured to prevent the decoy from inadvertently moving out of the concealed position, thereby allowing the decoy to move into the deployed position.
Claims20
A device for luring a target animal towards a location comprising:
- a base including apertures through which the device can be mounted to fixed objects;
- a decoy with a substantially planar fan hingedly connected to the base, said decoy having a concealed position wherein the substantially planar fan is substantially parallel with the base and a deployed position;
- a biasing element to prevent the decoy from inadvertently moving out of the concealed position;
- and
- an actuatable mechanism configured to release the biasing element from a remote location, thereby allowing the decoy to move from the concealed position to the deployed position.
A system for luring a target animal towards a location comprising:
- a first decoy appearing to be a first sex of the target animal species;
- a second decoy appearing to be a second sex of the target animal species having a concealed position and a deployed position;
- a biasing element to prevent the second decoy from moving out of the concealed position;
- and
- a mechanism configured to release the biasing element from a remote location, thereby allowing the second decoy to move from the concealed position to the deployed position.
A method of luring a target animal towards a location comprising:
- placing a first decoy appearing to be a first sex of the target animal species such that the first decoy can be seen by the target animal;
- concealing a second decoy appearing to be a second sex of the target animal species;
- and
- after failing to initially lure the target animal towards the location with the first decoy, deploying the second decoy from a remote location such that the second decoy can be seen by the target animal.
