This invention relates to a new and improved inflatable weather vane-type wild fowl decoy for use by hunters. More particularly, the invention relates to a wind inflatable weather vane-type wild fowl decoy in the form of a goose or duck which is of simple construction for easy manufacture, transport and assembly, and which is especially adapted for use in the field in sentry and feeding and landing positions, in simulation of natural wild fowl.
Decoys have been used for many years by hunters to attract wild fowl. Originally such decoys were carved from wood, but these had the disadvantage of being bulky and heavy and difficult to transport for field use. They were expensive. These factors tended to limit the number of decoys which could be used. Subsequently techniques were devised to manufacture hollow decoys. This partially resolved the weight and expense problems, but the decoys remained bulky and cumbersome to carry. These disadvantages led to the development of inflatable decoys.
