Hunting blind

A method of hunting waterfowl, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a cover and a collapsible frame;
• swathing the frame with the cover to provide a taut surface;
• providing on the cover a plurality of receptacles for receiving camouflage, the plurality of receptacles configured in a plurality of horizontal rows, wherein the placement of each of the plurality of receptacles in each of the plurality of horizontal rows is staggered with respect to the placement of the plurality of receptacles in the immediately adjacent rows, wherein the plurality of receptacles comprises a strake secured horizontally to the cover, each strake having a length and a width and being secured to the cover at intervals along the length of the strake creating secure points, and wherein the intervals at which each strake is secured to the cover is staggered with respect to the secure points at which each strake is secured to the cover in the immediately adjacent row or rows;
• and
• adjusting the height of the frame.

A portable hunting blind comprising:

• a collapsible frame, wherein:
• the frame defines an open position and a closed position and, when in the open position, the frame forms a trapezoidal prism having two opposing sides, each having a width, and two opposing ends, each having a width, wherein the width of the two opposing sides is longer than the width of the two opposing ends, and wherein the two opposing sides and the two opposing ends form four corners;
• the frame further comprises:
• four legs, wherein one of each of the four legs is positioned at one of the four corners formed by the opposing ends and the opposing sides;
• at least one end truss positioned between each of the two opposing sides;
• and
• at least one side truss positioned between each of the two opposing ends;
• each of the legs has a length that ranges from about three feet (7.62 cm) to about four feet (10.15 cm);
• and
• the legs of the frame are adjustable and further comprise a lock for engaging the legs in a stable position;
• a cover comprising:
• a unit of material that swathes the frame, wherein when the hunting blind is assembled for in-use configuration, the unit of material defines a wall of the hunting blind;
• a plurality of receptacles for receiving camouflage, the plurality of receptacles configured on the wall of the hunting blind in a plurality of horizontal rows, wherein the placement of each of the plurality of receptacles in each of the plurality of horizontal rows is staggered with respect to the placement of the plurality of receptacles in the immediately adjacent row or rows.
