  • Publication number: 20040025399
    Abstract: An animal decoy moving apparatus that, in at least one embodiment, comprises a base element; a turntable responsive to the base element and configured to support an animal decoy that is commercially available separately from the animal decoy moving apparatus; a wind independent turntable motion provision element to which the turntable is responsive; and an animal decoy attachment element usable to attach the separately commercially available animal decoy to the turntable, is disclosed. An animal decoy moving apparatus of at least one embodiment of the invention may be usable to impart motion to at least three different types of conventional, stationary animal decoys (e.g., shell; free-standing, full body; and post supported), at different times, without requiring substantive modification of any of these decoys.
