  • Publication number: 20150313206
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hunting blind that is configured to provide a user, preferably a hunter, with a natural blind cover or concealment to avoid detection by potential prey. The hunting blind includes a base portion that is preferably rectangular in shape that is removably mounted on a tree trunk by at least one fastener. The base portion is preferably integrally formed with a centrally located flange that extends upwardly and outwardly in relation to the base portion. The centrally located flange includes an opening therethrough that is configured to receive at least one tree branch therethrough. The centrally located flange further includes a fastener that allows the tree branch to be removably secured therethrough. In this way, the hunting blind provides a user with a natural ground blind while hunting on the ground or an elevated natural blind while utilizing a tree stand.
