ABSTRACT:
A flexible, self-supporting decoy for wild game which requires no wind to inflate and which maintains its shape even under heavy dew or rain showers. When used for birds, the decoy may comprise as few as three pieces, namely, a stake, a windsock-type body of flexible yet self-supporting material, and a fastener. The body may be rotatably supported about a stake by the simple expedient of an opening in the lower portion of the body large enough to pass over the stake and a second opening in the upper portion too small to pass over the stake but large enough to receive a fastener with a head or flange large enough to secure the body. Such decoys may be quickly collapsed for transporting or quickly unfurled for decoying, will move with wind, and are lightweight, durable and effective. Formed or molded heads may be added for additional realism.
