Abstract
An animal decoy apparatus includes a housing assembly which simulates an animal body. A leg assembly is partially housed within the housing assembly and partially extends outside of the housing assembly. A leg retraction and extension assembly is housed within the housing assembly and is connected between the housing assembly and the leg assembly. A leg-controlling wave receiver assembly is housed with the housing assembly and is connected to the leg retraction and extension assembly. The leg-controlling wave receiver assembly controls the leg retraction and extension assembly. A manually operated wave transmitter assembly is located outside of the housing assembly. The wave transmitter assembly transmits a control signal that is received by the leg-controlling wave receiver assembly. The housing assembly simulates a body of a water fowl. A pair of upper appendages are connected to the housing assembly. The upper appendages extend outward from the housing assembly. An upper appendage flapping assembly is housed within the housing assembly and is connected between the housing assembly and the upper appendages. An appendage-controlling wave receiver assembly is housed within the hous…
