ABSTRACT:
A waterfowl decoy system that may be used by hunters to lure waterfowl within effective killing range is disclosed. The decoy system uses a decoy having a realistic exterior cooperatively coupled to a flotation device. One preferred embodiment of the invention uses a conventional two liter bottle as a flotation device. The decoy resembles the outer appearance of a selected waterfowl. The decoy comprises a shell molded or formed of plastic or wood. The shell may be painted or molded into almost any preferential color or shape to lure the desired game. The shell interior supports a foam subframe that frictionally locks a portion of another decoy within the interior when the decoys are stacked. The foam subframe also frictionally engages the flotation device and serves as a stabilizer when the decoy system is deployed. The shell interior houses a receptacle that selectively couples the flotation device to the decoy. Preferably, the receptacle has an internal threads adapted to threadably receive the flotation device. When deployed, the shell substantially houses the flotation device. The flotation device may be any number of common devices with a threaded neck. The flotation device may be filled with variable amounts of a filler such as sand or dirt or water to selectively alter the flotation depth of the decoy. When several decoy systems are used conjunctively to form a flock, the variation of the flotation depths among the individuals in the flock gives it a more natural appearance.
