Waterfowl decoy machine

A buoyant decoy apparatus for use in a body of water comprising:

• a. A housing structure shaped to mimic at least a portion of an animal;
• b. A power supply;
• c. A motor in connection with said power supply and a propeller having a pitch comprising at least one propeller blade, wherein the motor is capable of rotating the rotate said propeller between 1-250 rotations per minute;
• d. A propeller guard operationally positioned at or near the propeller;
• e. Wherein at least a portion of the decoy structure shaped to mimic an animal is positioned on the surface of the water at least when not acted upon by the propeller;
• wherein the motor and propeller are configured such that when the motor is powered, it rotates the propeller to create a downward force relative to surface of the water that propels the decoy deeper into the water;
• and wherein the buoyancy of the decoy causes the decoy to return towards the surface of the water when not counteracted by the propeller.
