Portable hunting stand and game carrier

Abstract

A portable hunting blind or observation and hunting stand, and wheeled carrier is provided. The unit is foldable and has lower, central and upper ladder elements interconnected by securable hinges. A wheel is located on the lower ladder element and a rotatable tree mounting element is disposed on the upper ladder element. The upper ladder element also has a seat platform and a separate standing platform located on the upper ladder element below the tree attaching element. The tree attaching element comprises a rotatable C-shaped portion with a nylon strap having a first end and a second end. The first end is secured to the C-shaped portion, the intermediate strap surrounds the tree trunk and the second end is placed in a ratchet style strap tightener which permits adjustment according to the circumference of the tree. The C-shaped portion is rotatable about two axes and legs may be inserted into this portion, the stand being free standing in tripod fashion. When folded the hunting blind becomes a carcass transporter, permitting one to easily wheel the kill to the game warden or vehicle.
