Abstract
A decoy moving apparatus for attracting animals including a set of reels attached to a clutch system which is workable on an automated drive motor system. The clutch system works to engage and disengage the reels to takeon/take-off line which is extending from the reels to at least one stake or decoy anchor reference point, wherein the line is attached to a decoy pulled between the reels and one or more anchors, whereby the takeon/take-off of the line with the decoy apparatus moves the decoy back and forth and/or rotates the decoy on its axis. The decoy may float in water, mounted to a sled type mounting base, or suspended from a wire, depending upon the habitat of the animal to be attracted to the viewer.
