ABSTRACT:
A decoy, for simulating a wildfowl in feeding position, has a body within a keel located beneath the body. The body houses a motor and motor controller, for intermittently rotating an axle with outer ends, located outside the body, having paddle members thereon. Rotation of the axle, and thus the paddle members, causes the water in which the decoy is deployed to splash. The motor controller permits operator selectable durations of energization time and idle time for rotation of the paddle members. A sliding weight in the keel permits adjustment of pitch of the decoy. A counterweight permits balance adjustment, thereby permitting operation of the decoy to include a roll, or rotation about a vertical axis. The decoy also has a unique fitting for attachment of an anchor.
