A collapsible animal decoy is disclosed wherein a cover is disposed over a frame having a plurality of struts pivotally attached to an opening mechanism slidably disposed on an elongated shaft, forming an animal shape having a body, neck and head portion. The opening mechanism has an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the opening mechanism is positioned at the top end of the elongated shaft and the plurality of struts are extended outward. In the closed position, the opening mechanism is positioned at the handle end of the elongated shaft and the plurality of struts are collapsed against the elongated shaft for storage and transport. In addition, the struts freely rotate around the elongated shaft to give the decoy a realistic movement. A means for emitting an animal call may be incorporated into the shaft such that the rotation of the frame causes the decoy to emit the animal call. Also, the handle end of the elongated shaft may be secured to the ground or tree via a tether or pointed peg.

1. A decoy, comprising:a frame, comprising: an elongated shaft having a handle end and a top end, an opening mechanism that is slidably disposed on said elongated shaft resulting in said frame having a closed position and an open position, a plurality of support struts pivotally attached to said opening mechanism, and a head strut for forming a head and neck of an animal or fowl, connected to and extending from only one of said support struts wherein said head strut extends outward from said only one of said support struts when in said open position, said head strut including first and second ends which are attached at separate locations along a length of said only one of said support struts thereby forming a space bounded by said head strut and said only one of said support struts, wherein in said closed position, said opening mechanism is positioned at said handle end of said elongated shaft and said plurality of support struts and said head strut are collapsed against said elongated shaft, and wherein in said open position, said opening mechanism is positioned at said top end of said elongated shaft and said plurality of support struts and said head strut are extended outward from said elongated shaft; and a cover disposed over said plurality of support struts and said head strut such that when said frame is in the open position, said cover creates an appearance of an animal or fowl having a body portion, neck portion, and head portion.
