Abstract:

A portable, collapsible hunting box enclosure is constructed on a wheeled trailer. The hunting box enclosure may be raised and lowered through a scissor action support structure mounted on the trailer and powered by an electric winch. When the enclosure is to be transported, hinged wall panels enable the box to be folded and collapsed into a flat stack within the trailer. Once collapsed, reinforced wire panels or runners mounted on side members of the trailer rotate inward to overlay the collapsed box, providing a platform upon which an ATV may be loaded. The hunting stand/trailer combination may then be towed, with the ATV loaded thereon, by a full-size motor vehicle. Upon reaching a hunting area, the ATV may be unloaded and used to tow the hunting stand/trailer combination to a specific hunting site where the collapsed box is unfolded, to erect the enclosure, and elevated using the scissor action support structure.
