A collapsible frame structure for supporting the covering of a hunting blind on a boat, the frame structure including a pair of laterally adjustable U-shaped tubular frame members hingedly connected together. At least one of the tubular members being connected to, or received within a socket of a universal mount at each side of the boat. The socket is pivotably mounted on articulating brackets pivotably carried by a C-shaped clamp removeably clamped to each side wall of the boat and spanning the gunwales. The other of the tubular members includes members at the end thereof for abutting the gunwales spaced from the clamps. With this construction the tubualar frame members and thus the blind are readily collapsible and may be mounted and dismounted in a matter of minutes.
