What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows: 1. A turkey decoy system comprising: a first turkey decoy having a short vertical support rod with an upper end and a lower end rigidly coupled to the first turkey decoy; and a motion imparting assembly including a base positionable upon a horizontal support surface, the motion imparting assembly including a first motor to reciprocate the first turkey decoy between up and down positions, wherein the motion imparting assembly and first motor further including a rotatable drive shaft and a first linkage having an input disk with a center rotatable coupled to the rotatable drive shaft for maintaining its fixed position during rotation of the rotatable drive shaft and an output disk with a stub coupled to the short vertical support rod adjacent to its lower end for oscillation therewith, the motion imparting assembly also having a primary strut with a lower extent secured for oscillation with the rotation of the rotatable drive shaft and an upper extent about which the output disk and first turkey decoy are adapted to rotate, the motion imparting assembly also having a secondary strut with a lower extent rotatable secured to the input disk for oscillation and an upper extent rotatable secured to the output disk beneath the stub whereby activation of the first motor will oscillate the primary and secondary struts to raise and lower the first turkey decoy while the secondary strut translates axially to maintain the first turkey decoy in a vertical orientation at all times. 2. The system as set forth in claim 1 with the motion imparting assembly also including a second motor to rotate the first turkey decoy between left and right positions, with the system further comprising a second turkey decoy, the second turkey decoy having a long vertical support rod with an upper end and a lower end rigidly coupled to the second turkey decoy. 3. The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein a second turkey decoy is located alongside the first turkey decoy. 4. The system as set forth in claim 2 wherein the motion imparting assembly and second motor includes a vertical drive shaft adapted to rotate about a vertical axis and a drive wheel rotatably secured to the base for rotation about a vertical axis offset from the vertical drive shaft with a drive belt coupling the vertical drive shaft with the drive wheel, a connector linkage having an inner end secured to the drive wheel and a remote end secured to the lower end of the long vertical support rod, whereby activation of the second motor will rotate the drive wheel with the linkage and the long vertical rod to reciprocate the first and second turkey decoys between a left position and a right position. 5. The system as set forth in claim 2 and further including a controller having an on/off button to electrically energize the motors from a remote location with two separate switches, a first switch to activate the movement of the first motor and the first turkey decoy between an up position and a down position and a second switch to activate the movement of the second motor and the first and second turkey decoys between a left position and a right position to thereby attract wild turkeys. 6. A turkey decoy system for attracting wild turkeys through a first turkey decoy movable between an up and down position and a second turkey decoy movable between a left and right position comprising, in combination: a first turkey decoy having a periphery shaped to simulate a first turkey for attracting wild turkeys, the first turkey decoy having a short vertical support rod with an upper end and a lower end rigidly coupled to the first turkey decoy; a second turkey decoy having a periphery shaped to simulate a second turkey for attracting wild turkeys, the second turkey decoy having a long vertical support rod with an upper end and a lower end rigidly coupled to the second turkey decoy, the long vertical support rod being between about two and three times the length of the short vertical support rod for maintaining the second turkey decoy at an elevation above the first turkey decoy at all times during operation and use; a motion imparting assembly including a base positionable upon a horizontal support surface, the motion imparting assembly including a first motor with a horizontal drive shaft adapted to rotate about a horizontal axis and a first linkage having an input disk with a center rotatably coupled to the horizontal drive shaft for maintaining its fixed position during rotation of the horizontal drive shaft and an output disk with a stub coupled to the short vertical support rod adjacent to its lower end for oscillation therewith, the motion imparting assembly also having a primary strut with a lower extent secured for oscillation with the rotation of the horizontal drive shaft and an upper extent about which the output disk and short vertical rod are adapted to rotate, the motion imparting assembly also having a secondary strut with a lower extent rotatably secured to the input disk for oscillation and an upper extent rotatably secured to the output disk beneath the stub whereby activation of the first motor will oscillate the primary and secondary struts to raise and lower the short vertical rod and first turkey decoy while the secondary strut translates axially to maintain the short vertical rod in a vertical orientation at all times; the motion imparting assembly also including a second motor with a vertical drive shaft adapted to rotate about a vertical axis and a drive wheel rotatably secured to the base for rotation about a vertical axis offset from the vertical drive shaft with a drive belt coupling the vertical drive shaft and the drive wheel with an idler pulley there between, a connector linkage having an inner end secured to the drive wheel and a remote end secured to the lower end of the long vertical rod, the connector linkage having a bend of between 75 and 105 degrees whereby activation of the second motor will rotate the drive wheel with the linkage and the long vertical rod to reciprocate the long vertical rod moving the first and second turkey decoys between a left position and a right position; and a controller having an on/off button to electrically energize the motors from a remote location with two separate switches, a first switch to activate the movement of the first motor and the first turkey decoy between an up position and a down position and a second switch to activate the movement of the second motor and the first and second turkey decoys between a left position and a right position to thereby attract wild turkeys.
