Abstract
A highly portable, modular hunting blind which adapts to different hunting areas by utilizing local grass and other vegetation for 3-D camouflage and cover purposes. The blind is ideally of a light weight material, such as plastic, and includes adjustable angles for natural cover, and a number of vegetation straps that adjust to any natural cover the hunter chooses to use, such as grass, corn, brush, or tree limbs. This allows hunters to place natural cover at angles that create a secure 3-D effect and allows hunters and game to see through this natural environment eliminating the undesirable “blob” affect caused by dark fabric material, while breaking the hunter's profile.
Claims19
A hunting blind system comprising:
- a base comprising an elongated body including a front face, a rear face, a top face, a bottom face, a first end, and a second end;
- a plurality of holes penetrating horizontally through said base, beginning at said front face and ending at said rear face;
- and
- a strap operable to be inserted into said plurality of holes and adapted to capture camouflage elements against at least one face of said base.
A hunting blind system comprising:
- a base assembly comprising a first modular base and a second modular base, each said base being comprised of a buoyant plastic body;
- each said modular base comprising an elongated body including a front face, a rear face, a top face, a bottom face, a first end, and a second end;
- a first hinge protrusion affixed to said first end;
- a second hinge protrusion affixed to said second end;
- each said hinge protrusion including an opening extending vertically through said protrusion;
- wherein said first modular base's first hinge protrusion is interlocked with said second modular base's second hinge protrusion;
- a hinge rod adapted to be inserted through the openings of said interlocked hinge protrusions;
- wherein said first and second modular bases form an angle between 20 degrees and 175 degrees about said hinge rod;
- a plurality of holes penetrating horizontally through said modular base, beginning at said front face and ending at said rear face;
- a strap;
- a plurality of camouflage elements comprising natural vegetation;
- and
- wherein strap is adapted to hold said camouflage elements against said modular base.
A method of setting up a structure, which method comprises the steps of:
- providing first and second bases, each said base comprising an elongated body including a front face, a rear face, a top face, a bottom face, a first end, and a second end, wherein a plurality of holes penetrate horizontally through said base, beginning at said front face and ending at said rear face;
- placing said first base first end in proximity to said second base second end;
- providing a plurality of camouflage elements comprising natural vegetation;
- placing said plurality of camouflage elements against at least one face of said first and second bases;
- and
- securing said plurality of camouflage elements against said bases by looping a strap through said plurality of holes.
The method according to claim 19, further comprising the step:
- forming an angle between 20 degrees and 175 degrees about said hinge rod between said first and second bases.
