Abstract:
A pulley action decoy system, comprising:a plurality of buoyant waterfowl decoys; at least one manually operated flexible actuating line removably secured directly to said decoys for simultaneously and collectively moving said decoys across the surface of a body of water in which said decoys are floating, with said at least one actuating line having an operating end and a distal end opposite said operating end; at least one corner stake for guiding said at least one actuating line along a path determined by placement of said at least one corner stake; said at least one corner stake having an upper end with a low friction pulley extending therefrom, with said at least one actuating line passing about said pulley of said at least one corner stake; at least one resilient member having a first end and a second end opposite said first end, with said first end of said resilient member being removably secured to said distal end of said at least one actuating line; at least one anchor stake, with said second end of said at least one resilient member being removably secured thereto; at least one clamp and pulley assembly for removably clamping to a fixed point adjacent said operating end of said at least one actuating line, for guiding said at least one actuating line from the fixed point; and at least one tie off clamp adjacent said operating end of said actuating line, for temporarily securing said operating end of said actuating line as desired.
