Hey Jon,

I'm 6'3" and love my Waldrop seat.  It's very light and extremely comfortable.  The angle of recline is perfect for me, and you have the ability to lean it against a tree or use all of the legs like a chair.  It's very well built.  

The ease of use lets me be very quiet when setting up and I can be as mobile as I like with no trouble.

No input from tall hunters on the waldrop? I was chosen for the pass around on the huntmore from Onion on here. And, I can tell you, it is too small. The center bar is too close to my man goods. And, it hurts to sit in it for more than an hour or so. It almost feels like I am on a kids bicycle seat. And, for any of you that havent riden a bike in years, give it a try. It kinda hurts!

I am a touch under 6"'2" and weigh 250#. I like my Waldrop seat. For ME it is not a seat that I can stand directly up from, but then I have bad knees. It does require some thought during set up as it is a fixed position seat, so turning to shoot to your strong side is not an option....at least not for my aging body!!  :)  A very comfortable seat for me as I fell asleep in mine last spring!
I looked real hard at a Huntmore and may still pull the trigger on one, but if I am groundhunting, I am doing so to be more mobile and with the Waldop being so light, it is the way I decided to go. Both are well made, but I do like the fact that the Waldrop is made in the USA!

My knees are also shot.....I don't try to stand from the Waldrop, I just rock forward to shoot and it seems to work.....at least in the yard! And yes, you can fall asleep using it!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

I've owned both and kept my favorite...

The Waldrop seat took my vote and keeps me in the woods and comfortable at the same time.

God bless,Mudd
