Claim:
A turkey decoy system comprising: a real or artificial turkey tail fan including a base section and a main section extending radially from said base section; a fan support structure configured to be secured to said base section of said turkey tail fan; a stake having a first end configured for partial insertion into the ground; a clamp configured for attachment to a variety of structures, wherein said turkey decoy system is readily shiftable between a stake-supported configuration and a clamp-supported configuration, wherein said fan support structure is attached to said stake and detached from said clamp when said turkey decoy system is in said stake-supported configuration, wherein said fan support structure is attached to said clamp and detached from said stake when said turkey decoy system is in said clamp-supported configuration, wherein said fan support structure comprises a fan holding mechanism and an extension member, wherein said extension member is rigidly connected to said fan holding mechanism so that movement of one of said extension member and said fan holding mechanism causes a corresponding movement of the other of said extension member and said fan holding mechanism; and a drive assembly connected to said fan support structure and operable to alternatively shift said fan support structure from a lowered position to a raised position and from said raised position to said lowered position.
