Monroe, Louisiana Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Huntwise Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its innovation in waterfowl hunting technology. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12022821, titled ‘Spinning wing decoy apparatus’, introduces a decoy system that enhances realism and efficiency in the field.
The patented apparatus features a motorized unit connected to a base, with wing members that rotate when activated, simulating the natural movement of bird wings. A soft, avian-shaped shell encases the motor, creating a lifelike appearance. The design includes a housing unit with lip fasteners that secure the decoy body, ensuring stability during operation. The wings are configured to spin at speeds of at least 300 rpm, and the system is engineered to dampen vibrations, reducing unnatural movements that could deter game.
This innovation offers hunters a more effective tool for attracting waterfowl, combining realistic motion with durable construction. The integration of a flexible yet resilient decoy body material, such as plastics or rubber, allows for easy assembly and transport. By mimicking the visual cues of live birds more accurately, the apparatus aims to improve hunting success rates while maintaining ease of use in various field conditions.
