FIG. 1 is a perspective view of adecoy 100 used in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology.FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective views of certain portions of a decoy used in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology. In the embodiments shown, for example, the decoy is configured to resemble a bird. In certain embodiments, for example, decoys used in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can resemble a snow goose, a blue goose, or any other type of bird. In certain embodiments, decoys can be provided as described herein that resemble other animals, such as deer or coyotes or any other animal that can be hunted, for example. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 , for example, thedecoy 100 includes arigid member 102, anon-rigid body 104 including aninner portion 106 and anexterior portion 108, afan 110 and a head andneck portion 112. Certain embodiments do not include the head andneck portion 112. Thenon-rigid body 104, thefan 110 and the head andneck portion 112 are attached to therigid member 102. In certain embodiments, for example, thenon-rigid body portion 104, thefan 110 and the head andneck portion 112 can be removably attached to therigid member 102. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 , for example, the head andneck member 112 is attached to a first end of therigid member 102. In certain embodiments, for example, an opening in the head andneck member 112 can be configured to receive the first end of therigid member 102. For example, the head andneck member 112 can be configured to slide onto the first end of therigid member 102. Themembers neck portion 112, are thenon-rigid body 104 and thefan 110. In the embodiment shown, thenon-rigid body 104 and thefan 110 includeclamping devices 120 configured to receive therigid member 102. In certain embodiments, for example, theclamping devices 120 can be slid over therigid member 102 and locked into place at a desired position. Therigid member 102 also includes asecond end 114 configured to secure therigid member 102 in a stationary position. In certain embodiments, for example, thesecond end 114 can be pointed or otherwise configured such that thesecond end 114 can secure therigid member 102 in the ground. In certain embodiments, for example, therigid member 102 can deflect to certain degree. That is, therigid member 102 need not be completely rigid, but rigid enough to maintain thedecoy 100 in a substantially upright position when therigid member 102 is secured in a stationary position. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 , for example, thefan 110 is configured to direct air toward theinner portion 106 of thenon-rigid body 104. The air can flow through theinner portion 106 of thenon-rigid body 104, thereby providing movement of thenon-rigid body 104. In certain embodiments, for example, thenon-rigid body 104 can be made of cloth or fabric similar to those employed in a windsock, for example. In certain embodiments, for example, theinner portion 106 of thenon-rigid body 104 can comprise an inflatable bladder. Such embodiments can provide improved movement of the decoy that more closely resembles movement of a living animal. - In certain embodiments, for example, the
fan 110 can be similar to the fans used in computers. In certain embodiments, the fan can be configured to rotate while directing air toward theinner portion 106 of thenon-rigid body 104. Rotation settings such as constant motion, wherein the fan constantly rotates, and delayed motion, wherein the fan position remains constant at certain positions, can be included. In certain embodiments, the fan can be configured to modulate between on and off settings, for example, spending a desired period of time on and a desired period of time off. For example, in certain embodiments, the fan may be configured to spend 3 to 4 seconds on and then 3 to 4 seconds off, and so on. In certain embodiments, the fan can be configured for lateral displacement, thereby moving from side-to-side while directing air toward theinner portion 106 of thenon-rigid body 104. Lateral movement settings such as constant motion, wherein the fan constantly moves from side-to-side, and delayed motion, wherein the fan position remains constant at certain positions, can be included. - In certain embodiments, for example, the
decoy 104 can include framing that provides the general shape of a bird's body or another animal's body. In such embodiments, thenon-rigid body 104 can be secured to the framing such that airflow through theinner portion 106 of thenon-rigid body 104 can still provide for movement of thenon-rigid body 104. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 , for example, thefan 110 includes aswitch 113 configured to be manually manipulated between an on position, wherein the fan is turned on, and an off position, wherein the fan is turned off. In the embodiment shown, theswitch 113 is located on the fan. In other embodiments, a switch for the fan can be located in other positions, such as on the head andneck portion 112, for example. - In certain embodiments, for example, the
fan 110 can be configured to be manipulated between an on setting, wherein the fan is turned on, and an off setting, wherein the fan is turned off, using a radio frequency transmitter and receiver. In such embodiments, the radio frequency receiver can be in electrical communication with thefan 110 and the radio frequency transmitter can be disposed with a remote control. Radio frequency signals can be transmitted from the transmitter in the remote control to the radio frequency receiver, thereby manipulating thefan 110 between the on and off settings. In certain embodiments, a remote control can also be used to control fan rotation and/or modulation as discussed above. In certain embodiments, a single remote control can actuate fans in more than one decoy. In other embodiments, the remote control can actuate one fan in a single decoy. In certain embodiments, a single remote control can be used to transmit control signals at different frequencies. This can allow a first set of decoys with receivers set at a first frequency to receive control signals sent at the first frequency, while a second set of decoys with receivers set at a second frequency can receive control signals sent at the second frequency. In certain embodiments, this can allow a user to separately control different groups in a set of decoys using a single remote control. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 , for example, thedecoy 100 includes asolar panel 116 configured to supply power for thefan 110. In the embodiment shown, the solar panel is disposed on the head andneck portion 112 at the top of the head. In other embodiments, a solar panel can be disposed on the head andneck portion 112 at the back of the neck or under the bill/chin. In embodiments that do not include a head andneck portion 112, thesolar panel 116 can be disposed elsewhere on the decoy. Thesolar panel 116 is in electrical communication with thefan 110 viawires 118. In certain embodiments, for example, thedecoy 100 includes a battery configured to supply power for thefan 110. In such embodiments, the battery may be in electrical communication with thesolar panel 116 and may be rechargeable using thesolar panel 116. In certain embodiments, for example, a decoy can include a battery configured to supply power for thefan 110 and not a solar panel. - Certain embodiments of the present technology provide methods of making a decoy. Such methods can include making decoys such as those described above in connection with
FIGS. 1-3 . In certain embodiments, for example, a method of making a decoy can include: attaching a non-rigid body and a fan to a rigid member, wherein the non-rigid body includes an inner portion and an exterior portion, and wherein the fan is configured to direct air toward the inner portion of the non-rigid body. In certain embodiments, for example, the non-rigid body and the fan can be removably attached to the rigid member. In certain embodiments, for example, a method of making a decoy can include: attaching a head and neck portion to the rigid member.
