  • Patent number: 10542742
    Abstract: A game blind includes a frame having a central opening sized to accommodate a user, a plurality of support members coupled to the frame, and a blind element secured to one of the mounting points. The frame is suspended above a ground surface by the plurality of support members, which allow a user to level the frame relative to the ground surface by adjusting the position of the support members relative to the frame. The game blind may be configured in an in-use position when hunting or observing wild game, or a collapsed position when transporting or storing the game blind. In the collapsed position, the blind element may interface with at least one of the support members, which secures the blind element to the frame.
