Abstract: A remote controlled game decoy is provided that includes a number of functional components allowing an operator to control the game decoy for varied operations. The gamed decoy is self-propelled. Propulsion may be achieved either by a motor driven propeller or by a jet propulsion system. A rudder may be provided with the propeller to enhance mobility of the decoy. The jet propulsion system incorporates a pump which forces a flow of liquid to exit the decoy. The flow of liquid can be accelerated and directionally controlled by a nozzle placed in-line with the exiting flow of liquid. A retrievable anchor may be employed to station the decoy at a desired location. A gamed retrieval device may also be provided to retrieve downed game. In one arrangement, a retrievable snare or hook is used to retrieve downed game. In another arrangement, a plurality of retractable/extendable tines are used to retrieve downed game.
