Claim:
A portable hunting blind comprising: a base frame; an upper frame pivotally connected to the base frame; a first breakaway support operatively connected between the base frame and the upper frame for supporting the upper frame in an erected position and allowing the upper frame to pivot to a collapsed position when the breakaway support no longer supports the upper frame; a first biasing device attached to the first breakaway support for holding the breakaway support in a supporting position while supporting the upper frame in the erected position; and a cover attached to the blind to at least partially conceal a person in the blind when the upper frame is supported by the breakaway support; wherein the first biasing device applies a tensile force to the first breakaway support in the supporting position and as the upper frame transitions between the erected and collapsed positions; and one or more doors pivotally connected to the base frame or the upper frame for at least partially concealing the person in the blind when the one or more doors are in a closed position.
