RE: POP UP GROUND BLINDS
Waiting,
I hunt mostly out of ground blinds. During archery season. I do not put up any orange. However during gun season I hang hunter orange beanies (hats) over each of the corners. There are also some blinds that have tabs you can flip up that reveal Hunter Orange patches on each sode of the blind.
As for it being a rule it would make sense in those states that require hunter orange during gun season.
