Abstract
A mechanically built cover for an underground pit which accommodates one or more hunters, and gives maximum freedom of movement and firearm safety. It is preferably used by duck and goose hunters. The cover is built for instant opening, allowing time for the hunters to get their birds within shooting range. This cover will cut down on injured birds which leave the area to die. A designed safety feature of this pit cover is that one man can pull the cord which opens the cover instantly allowing other hunters in the pit to have complete control of their firearms. The pit cover may be camouflaged with whatever is in the hunting area such as corn stalks or any other natural foliages.
