  • Patent number: 9192156
    Abstract: The decoy suspension system is attached to a tree branch or other suitable support and suspends a decoy above the ground. The system includes a reel containing a retractable and extendible line. The reel is attached to the branch or support with a strap having mating hook and loop fasteners. The ease of the reel is preferably camouflaged. The line is preferably a low visibility transparent monofilament fishing line or similar material. The distal end of the line has a small toggle pin attached thereto that can be inserted into the back of the decoy to attach the decoy to the line. The decoy is preferably formed of thin sheets of foam plastic. The decoy may be partially filled with any readily available material to add mass. The swinging and swaying of the decoy at the end of the line produces realistic movement that attracts game animals to the site.
