Abstract:
1. An enhanced water fowl decoy, comprising: a head mechanically coupled to a pivot rod; wherein the pivot rod slides through a swivel barrel; the pivot rod is mechanically coupled to an anchor; the swivel barrel is mechanically coupled to a body; wherein the head resembles a head of a water fowl and the body resembles a body of the water fowl; wherein the pivot rod further comprises a truncated conical section located between the head and body which is configured to lift the head from the body limiting friction between the head and the body; wherein the head further comprises a fixed female thread and the pivot rod further comprises a fixed male thread such that the head can be mechanically coupled to the pivot rod by screwing the fixed male thread into the fixed female thread, this construction ensures easy replacement of the head and pivot rod while allowing coordinated motion of the head and neck that resembles motion of the water fowl; in this manner the anchor coordinates the movement of the body independent of the turning of the head in order to more realistically replicate natural motion of the water fowl.
