I want to use my ground blind to gun hunt from when it's raining. Just wandering where you guys get your orange for your blinds. I have a Doublebull Dark Horse.

I got like 2 yards at walmart and draped it over the top and got some nice metal clips from the hardware store for like a dollar for ten of them |

I got four ~12"x12" pieces of cardboard and a can of orange spray paint. I use binder clips to attach the now BRIGHT orange pieces of cardboard to the blind.

Is hunters orange required for yourself and blinds on Private property as well? I use it regardless for safety but didn't know if it was legally required on private property too.

Like I said, I always wear it anyways for my own sake of other peoples stupidity but I was curious as to what the actual law stated (or close to it)  |

The laws are written for everybody everywhere. The only time you see differences is when certain public properties have stricter rules. |

So far I have bought two of the blind caps after season for $5 each. Drape over the top of the portable blind and secure at the corners with binder clips.

There was a guy hunting last sunday behind me that put his ground blind up that had no hunter orange, now it was on private property, but I know he could see mine, but he just sat within 100 yds of me. Oh well, good thing I did not need to shoot behind me at a deer or I would not have seen the blind there.
I think it is a good law, I know a lot oopose it, but even on private, you still may get un wanted guest and they may shoot your direction.

Some thing just don't go over very well at first. |

I agree, sometimes change is good, I was not in favor of it at first, but now that I have to hunt out of a ground blind, and hunted on public property, I felt pretty safe with me and my son in there, the one I got came with safety pins and liked it, plus you can see where some blind is at so you are not shooting that direction. I think it was a good law to impose . Like I said, public ground is a must, and I know guys do not use it on private, but it could save your live after using the ground blind for the first time.
