  • Waterfowl decoy device
    Patent number: 9686977
    Abstract: A waterfowl decoy device provides remote control to raise and lower decoys attached to a moving hub such that the decoys simulate flight. The device includes a hub and a support arm coupled to the hub. The support arm is movable relative to the hub such that a distal end of the support arm relative to the hub is selectively raised and lowered relative to a position of the hub. A decoy is coupled to the distal end of the support arm wherein raising and lowering of the distal end of the support arm imparts elevation and descent motion to the decoy. The hub is further structured to rotate the support arm imparting motion to the decoy simulating flight.
