Description

The interior view of a duck blind was created for hunting in Ponkapoag, Canton, Massachusetts. Wooden walls, a dirt floor, a building, a couple of benches and a wood box make up the stand. On the first bench ten ducks are resting amidst some other hunting tools. The second bench has a dog resting on it with a rifle propped up against the wall. Another rifle is across from the bench and is propped up against a tree.
