A game decoy is provided with a heat-producing and conducting, surface-activating system to melt frozen precipitation and to dry off any surface moisture for the melted precipitation or rain which may otherwise lie on the surface. Such “wet look” decoys can provide a warning to game animals defeating the designed purpose of the decoy. An anti-icing, anti-moisture coating can be employed as well to discourage ice, snow and moisture from adhering to the surface of the decoy.
