Best laid plans…….
« on: August 22, 2021, 12:56:28 PM »
Well things change, was going to get up in the air this year with a climbing tree stand !! Got a nice alone Wolf from a fella here on the site. Now I’m having some back issues. I don’t feel that should be going up any trees at this time. So I wii be back in the pac-seat and doing it from the ground. Here is my set up , I always set up by a windfall or some king of cover!

Staying flexible in setups keeps you in the game-good on you for not losing sight on how to proceed. More important to be out there than whining about what if's.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Yup, they won't come pry ya off the couch!

Good luck Ron!!  They can be killed from ground level just as dead as from a treestand , a ghillie jacket sure helps too.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Ron,
Have you had good luck off the ground with your pac seat ? I also have one and enjoy hunting in it. This is how I setup in one location

That's a nice seat but seems a bit laid back for shooting, No?
I hunt from the ground and use a Millennium Tree seat. It too has its flaws, one being able to locate a tree to mount it where I want to be. I would like to check out your seat in order to alleviate that issue but if it's too laid back for shooting it'll be a non starter for me. do you have any issues shooting from that.

Had a couple misses, one non fatal hit, and a bunch of to close encounters. Deer were so close that I could count eye lashes, your set up looks like mine !!

The nice thing about the Pac Seat is you can adjust the straps on the seat and legs to give a more upright sitting position.
I'll be hunting in mine a lot this fall. Just don't forget to practice from it in advance.
