Abstract
A wild turkey decoy includes a support stand to which the main body member is pivoted. The head and neck member are in turn pivotally connected to the main body member. A spring interconnects the head and neck member to the support stand. A control line extends through guides on the support stand to the head and neck member whereby pull on the control line causes the entire bird to pivot downwardly first to the limit of its pivotal movement followed by the pivoting downwardly of the head and neck member to simulate a bird feeding. An alternate arrangement includes a tie-line extending between the head and neck member to the support stand whereby pull on the control line causes simultaneous pivotal movement of the main body member relative to the support stand and the head and neck member relative to the main body member.
Claims16
A remote controlled fowl decoy comprising,
- a fowl decoy on a support stand,
- said decoy having a body member pivotally connected to said support stand, and a head and neck member pivotally connected to said body member,
- a spring means operatively connected between said support stand and said body member and head and neck member,
- a remote controlled control line operatively connected to said body member and said head and neck member whereby a pull on said line causes said body member to pivot relative to said support stand and said head and neck member to pivot relative to said body member, and
- said body member having a chamber and said support stand extending into said chamber;
- said body member being pivoted to said support stand intermediate its ends at a point below its top end and said spring means being connected to the top end of said support stand above the pivot point and in said chamber.
A remote controlled fowl decoy comprising,
- a fowl decoy on a support stand,
- said decoy having a body member pivotally connected to said support stand, and a head and neck member pivotally connected to said body member,
- a spring means operatively connected between said support stand and said head and neck member, and
- a remote controlled control line operatively connected to said body member and said head and neck member, and said spring means being sufficiently strong that a pull on said line causes said body member to pivot relative to said support stand first followed by said head and neck member pivoting relative to said body member as continued pull is applied to said line.
A remote controlled fowl decoy comprising,
- a fowl decoy on a support stand,
- said decoy having a body member pivotally connected to said support stand, and a head and neck member pivotally connected to said body member,
- a spring means operatively connected between said support stand and said body member and head and neck member,
- a remote controlled control line operatively connected to said body member and said head and neck member whereby a pull on said line causes said body member to pivot relative to said support stand and said head and neck member to pivot relative to said body member, and
- a tie means being connected between said head and neck member, and said stand whereby said pull on said control line causes said body member and said head and neck member to pivot simultaneously with said head and neck member pivoting relative to said body member as said body member pivots relative to said stand.
