Abstract:
1. A hunting or animal observation blind that is capable of containing a vegetation component of vegetation, which comprises a vegetation-shielding/offering member, which at least bounds an interior volume such that the vegetation-shielding/offering member is capable of keeping a contemplated game animal from entering into said volume to eat the vegetation component that is capable of being grown therein, which is capable of allowing at least a portion of the vegetation component to pass therethrough to be offered for eating outside said volume by the contemplated game animal, and which forms a wall including spaced apart sides so as to define a first side, a second side spaced apart from and opposite the first side so that said first and second sides are in a spaced apart relationship with respect to each other to form said volume, a horizontal length and a horizontal width, and so as to bound said volume, wherein said wall has one and only one of shapes “A” or “F” or one or more of shapes “B” through “E,” as follows, when taken from a top view: (A) said wall is straight when viewed from the top, and elongate when viewed from the top so that its length is substantially greater in linear dimension than its width; (B) said wall includes being bent by including a bend, being inclusive of a plurality of segments when viewed from the top, at least a first segment of which goes along a first horizontal axis and at least a second segment of which intersects with the first segment and goes along a second horizontal axis different from the first horizontal axis, and which has at least one elongate segment thereto when viewed from the top so that its length, which pertains to the at least one elongate segment of the bent wall, is substantially greater in linear dimension than its width, which pertains to the at least one elongate segment of the bent wall; (C) said wall is curvilinear but not substantially circular by including at least one curvilinear segment when viewed from the top, and which is elongate when viewed from the top so that its length, which pertains to the at least one curvilinear segment is substantially greater in linear dimension than its width, which pertains to the at least one curvilinear segment; (D) said wall includes straight and curvilinear segments, at least one of which is elongate when viewed from the top so that its length, which pertains to at least one of the straight and curvilinear segments, is substantially greater in linear dimension than its width, which pertains to the at least one of the straight and curvilinear segments; (E) said wall includes formation of an igloo shape, in which said wall includes a top cover that is capable of containing the vegetation component and includes as said first and second spaced apart sides and top cover, outer and inner sides to define said interior volume of said wall of the igloo shape, between which outer and inner sides the vegetation component is capable of being grown, and which igloo shape has an inner confine defined by said inner sides, into which inner confine a man can enter; or (F) said wall is substantially circular when viewed from the top, and there is present at least one of the following features: characterized in that the blind can be used for hunting or observation of the contemplated game animal by providing the blind; setting up the blind on a predetermined site; providing the vegetation component in said interior volume, which attracts said animal; hiding or masking oneself behind said member; and observing for said animal.
