Abstract: A waterfowl decoy device broadly comprises a buoyant decoy body, a decoy anchor, and an anchor extension, setting and retrieval mechanism for extending, setting and retrieving the anchor. The body is a conventional waterfowl decoy body defining a hollow interior and presenting a keel. The mechanism is attached to the body and includes a housing, a reel mounted within the housing for rotation and an anchor line having a proximal end coupled with the reel and a distal end coupled with the anchor. The reel is spring biased for retraction of the anchor. The decoy is retrieved by pushing the decoy into the water so that the decoy bobs in a direction away from the anchor unlocking the mechanism and retracting the anchor.

Abstract: A waterfowl decoy device broadly comprises a buoyant decoy body, a decoy anchor, and an anchorextension, setting and retrieval mechanism for extending, setting and retrieving the anchor. The body is a conventional waterfowl decoy body defining a hollow interior and presenting a keel. The mechanism is attached to the body and includes a housing, a reel mounted within the housing for rotation in first and second directions and an anchor line having a proximal end coupled with the reel and a distal end coupled with the anchor. The anchor line is spooled around the reel. The reel is spring biased in the second direction. The upper face of the reel defines interconnected extension, retrieval, switch, lockout and release tracks. A guide is pivotally mounted within the housing for engagement with the tracks. As the anchor is pulled from the mechanism for extension, the reel rotates in the first direction and the guide engages the extension track.
