Abstract
A game bird decoy is formed as a shell representative of the upper portion that is above the waterline of a floating game bird represented. There is an open cavity below the upper portion that terminates in a waterline rim. The head is formed folded out with two similar sides to be folded together and bonded to yield a realistic head. The head is attached to the body by inserting the neck into a hole provided in the body shell. A slit in the neck provides access to the cavity within for storage of line, weight, and the like. The decoy is formed from flat sheet stock of closed cellular foam, preferably, of polyethelene. The color and color patterns as desired on the final product are applied to the flat sheet stock before vacuum forming. Painting, printing and silk screen processes are used as dictated by batch quantity considerations.
