The decoy also includes a mechanical can call activating device that mechanically manipulates a can call producing a noise that attracts ducks, or other fowl.

Claims (19)

1. A game call holder, comprising:

a housing disposing a shaker motor and a power source;

wherein the housing is bird shaped;

wherein the housing floats upon a body of water;

a shaker motor, a lift wheel, and a lifter,

wherein the shaker motor is coupled to the lift wheel,

wherein the lift wheel is coupled to the lifter, wherein movement of the lift wheel in a circular path causes the lifter to move vertically moving the game call holder vertically upon the body of water, and

wherein the lifter further comprises an embedded magnet, wherein the shaker motor detects the position of the embedded magnet;

a remote control selectively activating the shaker motor; wherein the shaker motor moves the game call holder up and down upon the body of water;

spring disposed with the housing;

a mechanical can call disposed with the housing;

wherein the spring moves the mechanical can call up and down in an arc within the housing;

wherein the mechanical can call includes an internal mechanism that produces a noise that attracts a bird when said mechanical can call is moved up and down in an arc relative to the housing.

2. The game call holder of claim 1 wherein the spring is a compression spring.

3. The game call holder of claim 1 wherein the mechanical can call is cylindrical in shape.

4. The game call holder of claim 1 wherein the power source comprises a battery disposed within the housing.

5. The game call holder of claim 4 wherein operation of the shaker motor causes the housing to shake simulating the movement of a duck, wild turkey, goose, or pheasant upon the body of water.

6. The game call holder of claim 1 wherein the mechanical can call produces a noise that attracts a duck, wild turkey, goose, or pheasant.

7. The game call holder of claim 1 , further comprising a lid formed onto the housing, wherein the lid may be opened to allow a user access to the shaker motor, the spring, and the mechanical can call.
