    I'm new to deer hunting and purchased a pop up blind at the end of last year's season. Where can a person get the hunter orange panels that are required for blinds? Would like a brick and mortar store around the Indianapolis area, but will go online if needed.

    You can also just get fabric from a hobby store and cut them into 12"x12" sections. This would be cheaper, especially if you have more than one ground blind.

    This is what I've done.
    Warning:
    I know some stores sell the orange "blind cap(s)" that are supposed to meet size requirements.
    At one point, the DNR rules book specifically forbade the use of these caps, saying they were "insufficient, and would not satisfy the law in Indiana.

    I went to Jo-Ann fabrics and bought a chunk of orange cotton right off the bolt.
    I can't recall exactly, but I think I figured they cost me less than $2 per square.

    Again, find the regulations in the newest rules book.
    If I remember correctly, there was a pretty specific size.
    It had to be a minimum of 12" x 12" (144sq/in) clearly visible on each side of the blind..

    I think we bought the panels from Rural king or Dunhams last year for $5 or $6. We just safety pin them to the sides and leave them on.
