A Day with David Waldrop, the Pac Seat , and Hogs
« on: April 03, 2017, 07:49:00 PM »
My son and I hunted our south Georgia hog lease last week. We were surprised to meet another member...David Waldrop. Great guy. I was hunting my Waldrop chair for pigs as I stalk & sit being 71 years old.  I got to compare my older version with his new version.  The only difference is the front legs are 1 1/2" longer and the seat is raised 1 1/2". Big difference in the front edge hitting your hamstring area...much more comfortable.  He has new chairs and kits to adapt the older chair...tippit

IMHO the Waldrop Pac Seat is the best hunting seat out there. I have mine for about 5 years and love it. Best dang seat ever.

Yep great seat. Used mine last week turkey hunting. I like the stalk and sit idea.    :)

Two of my favorite dudes.  Been enjoying my pac seat this turkey season so much I think I'm going to deer hunt out of it this season.

Rigged for a day in the turkey woods.  The  hip belt is one of my favorite features.  It carries like a pack frame with no weight on your shoulders even if you load up.

Julian,
After talking with David and his deer hunting on the ground, I'm going to do it too this year.  Need to get together before we head back north.  We'll be in Aiken another 6 weeks before my cochlear implant surgery the end of May.

I'd been around those seats for years but never really got em until talking with David.  He is a ground hunter and designed that seat from the ground!

Jeff, have your people call my people. Soon!

Thanks!

These seats are all aircraft aluminum so they don't bend.  He has a couple other things up his sleeve that he is working on too.

David doesn't do web sites just call him...but I'm not sure I'm allowed to post his phone #.

PM me...tippit

OH we didn't just sit around talking all the time.  My son shot a couple pigs.  I'm having a harder time spot & stalking as I don't hear the pigs...but the lease is just beautiful (four thousand acres of Cypress swamp, hardwoods, pine, palmettos, all on a major river with gators to entertain you!)

Looks good; I need one of those seats as I would like less tree hunting and more ground hunting.  Glad that you found a good hunting lease.

Glad you got Zach down there and he brought home the bacon.  
I like the additional height on the new model.  How does the adapter kit work for the old ones?  Did you convert yours?

I found two different numbers for David and neither one worked.

Please help!

Thank you!

Whip,
Zach loved it down there.  I think he explored the entire property...young legs. He didn't want to come back to Aiken...but Mom prevailed  :)

To change the seat...the leg height adaptor is an inner and outer sleeve.  Just cut the rubber cap off, slide in place, and glue on.  To lower the seat, drill out rivets, drop seat 1 1/2 inch, and re-rivet.  It's amazing how much more comfortable the seat is especially on your hamstring area that hangs over the seat.

Mudd...sent you a PM

Cool pocs! LOVE MY PACSEAT! When I take it to soccer games with the daughter I get funny looks and I let folks sit in it and they are amazed how comfy it is.
