I have posted the relevant administrative rules below. All ground blinds that may prevent the orange required to be worn by the hunter from being visible must have 144 square inches of hunter orange on each side. A ground blind is any blind from the ground up to 4 feet off the ground. Anything over 4 feet would be an elevated platform and does not require the display of the hunter orange on each side. Notice the IAC does not require the orange to be 12 inches by 12 inches. The IAC only states that it be 144 square inches. While in the description posted above, you stated that it had windows. While it has windows, only a person looking at the hunter through the window would be able to see the hunter orange being worn by the hunter inside. Therefore, the ground blind MAY prevent the orange from being visible and requires the 144 square inches.
312 IAC 9-1-7.6 "Ground blind" defined Authority: IC 14-10-2-4; IC 14-22-2-6 Affected: IC 14-22 Sec. 7.6. "Ground blind" means a structure or visual screen of any type that is located on or within four (4) feet of the ground that includes manmade or synthetic materials and results in concealing a hunter so that the hunter orange worn by the hunter may not be visible from one (1) or more directions.
312 IAC 9-2-15 General requirements for hunter orange on ground blinds Authority: IC 14-10-2-4; IC 14-22-2-6 Affected: IC 14-22-38-7 Sec. 15. An occupied ground blind must have at least one hundred forty-four (144) square inches of hunter orange that is visible on each side of the blind from one-half (1/2) hour before sunrise to one-half (1/2) hour after sunset when the hunter is required to wear hunter orange in accordance with IC 14-22-38-7 or 312 IAC 9-3-2(t).
