With the pop ups you kinda a feel like you're intruding on another hunters space, but when they leave them up for the entire hunt it seems like they might be taking advantage of hunter politeness to reserve an area. I would never touch one nor would I hunt over their feeder, but not sure if I'd ignore and keep hunting the area or not. Obviously not if they're actually in the blind. Seems the pop up ground blinds have become a problem in some areas. Kind of a gray area with them. Know of a couple in our area that got left up pretty much thru the archery hunt, had feed set out. Not sure how I would've reacted to them had I been actually hunting, but was a little surprised they survived the hunt. Both were quite visible from the forest service road. What's the problem?
