A decoy system can include a frame, a housing coupled to the frame, a prime mover disposed at least partially in the housing, a first decoy mount rotateably coupled to the frame, a second decoy mount moveably coupled to the frame, and a first tie member coupled to the first decoy mount and the second decoy mount. The prime mover can selectively rotate the first decoy mount. The first tie member can translate motion to the second decoy mount. The first decoy mount and the second decoy mount can move differently. The decoy system can include a first decoy coupled to the first decoy mount and a second decoy coupled to the second decoy mount.
1 . A decoy system, comprising:
a frame;
a housing coupled to the frame;
a prime mover disposed at least partially in the housing;
a first decoy mount rotateably coupled to the frame about a first axis of rotation;
a second decoy mount rotateably coupled to the frame about a second axis of rotation; and
a first tie member coupled to the first decoy mount and the second decoy mount;
wherein the prime mover is configured to selectively rotate the first decoy mount; and
wherein the first tie member is configured to translate motion of the first decoy mount to the second decoy mount.
2 . The decoy system of claim 1 , wherein the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are at least substantially parallel.
3 . The decoy system of claim 1 , wherein the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are at least substantially orthogonal.
4 . The decoy system of claim 1 , wherein the first axis of rotation is at least substantially vertical and the second axis of rotation is at least substantially horizontal.
5 . The decoy system of claim 1 , wherein the first decoy mount has a first degree of rotation and the second decoy mount has a second degree of rotation, and wherein the first degree of rotation and the second degree of rotation are different.
6 . The decoy system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a third decoy mount rotateably coupled to the frame about a third axis of rotation; and
a second tie member configured to translate motion of the first decoy mount to the third decoy mount.
7 . The decoy system of claim 6 , wherein the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are at least substantially parallel and wherein the first axis of rotation and the third axis of rotation are at least substantially orthogonal.
8 . The decoy system of claim 6 , wherein the third decoy mount is configured to be biased towards rotation in a first direction, and wherein the second tie member is configured to rotate the third decoy mount in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.
9 . The decoy system of claim 8 , wherein the third decoy mount is configured to be biased towards the first direction by floatation when a decoy is coupled to the third decoy mount and suspended in water.
10 . The decoy system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a third decoy mount; and
a second tie member configured to translate motion of the first decoy mount to the third decoy mount.
11 . The decoy system of claim 10 , wherein the second tie member comprises a flexible tether and wherein the third decoy mount is coupled to the frame solely via the tether.
12 . The decoy system of claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises a first frame member having a first end and a second end longitudinally opposite the first end; wherein the first frame member is coupled to the housing; and wherein the second decoy mount is coupled to either the first end or the second end of the first frame member.
13 . The decoy system of claim 12 , wherein the frame comprises a second frame member having a first end and a second end longitudinally opposite the first end; wherein the first end of the second frame member is coupled to the first frame member; and further comprising a third decoy mount rotateably coupled to the second end of the second frame member.
14 . The decoy system of claim 13 , wherein the first end of the second frame member is removably coupled to the first frame member at a location between the first end and the second end of the first frame member.
15 . The decoy system of claim 13 , wherein the first end of the second frame member is selectively rotatably coupled to the first frame member at a location between the first end and the second end of the first frame member.
16 . The decoy system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one decoy coupled to each decoy mount.
17 . The decoy system of claim 1 , further comprising a waterfowl decoy toollessly coupled to the second decoy mount.
18 . The decoy system of claim 1 , wherein the second decoy mount comprises a first jaw and a second jaw biased towards the first jaw, and wherein the first and second jaws are configured to selectively couple with a decoy.
19 . The decoy system of claim 1 , further comprising a first decoy coupled to the first decoy mount; and wherein at least a portion of the housing is disposed within the first decoy.
20 . The decoy system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an agitator configured to agitate water in which the decoy system is suspended; and
a second tie member configured to translate motion of the first decoy mount to the agitator.
