Hunting Chairs ?
« on: August 09, 2009, 10:14:00 PM »
Anybody use the chair from big jim's bow company?  Is Squirrel Bait still making chairs? I'm going to try it on the ground again this year maybe not exclusively but quite a bit and I'm looking for a good "comfortible" hunting chair! I have tryed several folding/tripod and found none to be good on the backside!! anybody got any ideas? Thanks for the help! Jason

Covey- I have a couple of the leaning chairs in stock. Half the price, 1/3 the weight and doubles as a pack frame and super comfortable. How can you beat it?

A good looking chair that seems to be just right for hunting.

 But I make up ground blinds prior to the season and use just the green plastic chair from Walmart $5.95, and I put a tag on it that says:

please feel to use. But do not move chair as I am a physically challenged hunter with my name and address on the chairs. I made the tags up on the computer and sealed with tape etc.

 So far I have about 12 chairs out all over the state lands etc and in use now for over 15 years and only have had two taken and one broken by someone. If placed on soenone land I get permission prior to making a ground blind.

I like the Double Bull Magnum Chair.  It is a tripod chair BUT it has a back and is big enough for my fat butt to be comfortable in all day.

I have always liked my very simple, small fold up stool. I originally bought it for dove hunting but I use it in my pop-up blind and just about everwhere I hunt.

 

I bought it from Ballistic Products in MN

Just purchased a Double Bull Magnum at McAllister, OK shoot. Used the original DB for last three years. Wanted something a little bigger. Like the looks of the "Magnum" and the price was well within my budget.   :thumbsup:

I agree with the last last two...the Double Bull Magnum is great.  I'm 6'3' 250, no problems.  I do most of my hunting from ground blinds.  I've love the huntmore, but I can't justify $200+ for a chair.

I used the Huntmore stool for turkey hunting this Spring and I loved it. I also have the DB magnum stool, but with my bum back and hip the Huntmore stool is much more comfortable.

I'm know that over the years I've spent more than $200.00 for all the others I've had. So I guess it depends on how you look at it. I was so impressed that I am now stocking them at my little archery shop that I run out of my home.

I go through at least one cheap chair a season. They sure don't last very long....

How is the huntmore chair for carring in a few miles and setting up with?  Weight, ease and noise of set up?  Yup 200 is alot and for all day use it may be a good buy but what about the 3hour or so evening hunt??  Where I hunt regularly its check the wind, walk in, check the wind pick a set up area and set up, changes every time I hunt the property rare to use the same place twice in a row.

I think I'm gonna get one from Big Jim! I can't think of a situation that I won't be leaning against somthing, but I set in one at cloverdale with nothing to lean on and it set just fine and was very comfortable! and I like the idea of doubleing as a pack frame! plus it seemed to be built real sturdy! cool chair! Thanks guys, Jason

I have a Double Bull chair and I recently purchased the Millenium M300 Tree Seat.  It is lightweight, very comfortable and has a good price point at $69.95 retail.  Below is a link to the Millenium:

Those adjustable legs on the Huntmore are what got my attention. The 360 thing too. Here in the mountains adjustable legs are a must. When sitting on the side of the mountain you always need one or two legs longer than the others. Been trying to figure how to modify my chair to do that.

The huntmore looks just awesome. But I think it is overpriced.

Man they shore e'nuff be expensive! The huntmore that is. Bought me one though cause I wanted a quiet seat with a back rest and adjustable legs and could rotate.. I like my DB magnum but this chair has more features. I had a problem with the backrest when I first got it. Scott took care of it right away. When I saw Scott at Compton's he said they made some upgrades. I had my chair with me and he upgraded it right there. Pretty good service. Guess you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, when I ordered it I thought it was made in the USA. Its not.

I second the millennium.  I bought one earlier this year....camo painted it and left it outside for a month or so.

I added some GWW padded straps (didn't like the one that comes with it) and I can hardly feel it on my back.

I plan to take my first from the ground with it this fall.

Niff-T-Seat.  Not the most comfortable, but it is easy to carry in a pack, on your belt or tied to a shoulder strap. Sets up quickly with little to no sound (if done right!).  

Gonna make a few "Torges tree seats" this year as well, to leave in the woods.
