US Patent 8381750 Hunting blind having a camouflaging sloped profile

A skirt for a lay-down type hunting blind of the type having a shell for enclosing an occupant in a recumbent position. The skirt comprises at least one panel having a proximate edge and a distal edge. The proximate edge of the skirt attaches to the top perimeter edge of the shell. The skirt's distal edge is securable to a ground surface such that the skirt may be extended outwardly from the top perimeter edge of the shell to a ground surface at a slope sufficiently gradual to minimize shadows and blend more naturally into outdoor environments.
