Abstract
A deer decoy comprising a plastic body having opposed sides, each side simulating the rear end of a standing deer. A tail is associated with each side. The tails are mounted on a common shaft for bodily rotation about an axis near their upper ends such that the tails are gravitationally biased to normally hang in a position simulating a natural relaxed condition of repose. An exterior pull string and/or a mechanism within the body is controlled to move the tail relative to said body out of the repose position. The body is made of solid foam plastic or hollow and of two substantially identical halves joined together. The deer decoy body include recesses defining a downwardly open channels along each leg portion of the body rear end and a rod is telescoped in each channel for engaging the ground to support the decoy in standing position spaced above the ground. The decoy is three-dimensionally sculptured to life-like scale along X and Y dimensional coordinate axes at a scale greatly reduced from the X-Y scale along main decoy viewing Z axis so as to appear abnormally thin when viewed along the Z axis.
