A decoy system comprising in combination:

• an inflatable decoy having a main body portion, a connected head portion, a connected rear portion and at least two depending leg portions;

• a supporting stand comprising:
• a pair of rods each having a length greater than the depending leg portions of the inflatable decoy and each having a first end and a second end;
• an elongate bracket having a longitudinal axis and a first end and a second end;
• a first connector means mounted to the first end of the elongate bracket for hingedly connecting the first end of one of the rods to the elongate bracket and allowing hinged movement in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongate bracket;
• a second connector means mounted to the second end of the elongate bracket for hingedly connecting the first end of the other rod to the elongate bracket and allowing hinged movement in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongate bracket;
• a strap, having two free ends, mounted to the elongate bracket and having a length sufficient to extend around the main body portion of the inflatable decoy;
• the strap positioned to extend around the main body portion of the inflatable decoy;
• and
• means for releaseably securing the two free ends of the strap together;
• whereby when the leg portions of the inflatable decoy are positioned to rest on a ground surface and the pair of rods are swung outwardly away from the inflatable decoy and the second ends of the rods positioned to rest on the ground surface, the inflatable decoy is supported in an upright position with respect to the ground surface.
