A duck blind adapted for mounting on the gunwales of a boat hull includes separate bow, stern and central frame sections adapted for use on various size boats. Camouflage designed cover sections with windows are provided for each frame section and are removably connected by zippers to provide a cover over the entire boat. Desired access points or shooting stations from the boat to the outside are obtained by the stragetically arrangement of zippered fasteners. A reticulated camouflage type curtain is arranged inside the cover sections to provide concealment for the hunter when designated cover sections are unzippered. A separate zippered section in the central cover provides ingress and egress for the hunter\s dog and the reticulated curtain can be arranged by appropriate zippering to provide an enclosure about the dog\s station within the boat to protect the hunter from the water spray when the dog returns to the boat from the water and shakes itself off. The frame sections are of a knockdown construction for ease of handling and storage and are adjustable to provide a fully erected cover, an open bow or stern section of the boat, separately or simultaneously, a tarp-type closure for the bow or stern section of the boat, separately or simultaneously, a full open boat with the cover sections folded down and a tarp-like enclosure for the entire boat for storage or trailering. The boat can be trailered with the cover fully erected for which an auxiliary bow cover support is provided.
