Claim:
1. A decoy system for moving decoys on the surface of a body of water, said decoy system comprising: a first stake assembly for placing in the ground, where said first stake assembly includes a mechanism, where said mechanism includes: a second stake assembly for placing in the ground; a line in tension between a first end of said line attached to said second end of said rotating assembly and a second end of said line attached to said second stake assembly; and one or more decoys attached to said line, such that said rotating mechanism moves said first end of said line and said one or more decoys in a first horizontal direction towards the first stake, moves said first end of said line and said one or more decoys in a second horizontal direction opposite the first direction towards the second stake, moves said first end of said line and said one or more decoys in a third horizontal direction perpendicular to the first and second directions, and moves said one of said first end of said line and said one or more decoys in a fourth horizontal direction opposite the third direction, such that during said first half of a full rotation of said drive shaft said element of said first arm contacts said second arm and said second arm to rotate with said drive shaft, and said first end of said line and said one of said one or more decoys move in said first horizontal direction followed by said third horizontal direction, such that during said second half of a full rotation of said drive shaft, tension from said line pulls said second end of said second arm in a direction towards said second end of said line, and said first end of said line and said one or more decoys move in said second horizontal direction followed by said fourth horizontal direction, and such that when the motor rotates at a constant rate, the first end of the line and said one or more decoys move in a circular motion at an uneven rate.
