pack in type seat

[ny state land]

I'm changing my approach to hunting this year. I have been spending more and more time on the ground but have been using a light fold up type seat. Unfortunately  it creaks a lot BUT it is easy to carry. I use a cat quiver and can't see how that would work with these type seats unless i am missing something? I like my setup just slip on my cat 3 and start walking, the fold ups have a strap that is easy to use. Lately i have just been standing in cover but feel too exposed. SO do i need to rethink my quiver situation to accommodate carrying a seat? I really like them idea of brushing in lower to the ground but being comfortable too. Any thoughts or experiences would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Stacy

Waldrop pac seat works great & is real comfortable but you would have to fasten your cat quiver to the back of the seat.( The seat has straps so you carry/wear it like a backpack)

I have a Tripod-Type Fold Up seat that I Love! I think I got it at Big R.....Or one of the Farm Stores. Its Camo, and you sit pretty low, and it doesnt make ANY noise and its light to pack.

For the seats or chairs that have back straps I prefer the side quivers with a strap over my shoulder.

If your looking for something that is light, easy to carry, doesn't creak, is adjustable and can be used free standing or leaning against a tree......then take a look at the Waldrop pack seat. I have attached a light weight old fleece pack to mine and can carry my gille suit and other items just like a backpack.

i also use atripod folding stool.
which i attach to the back of my cat quiver- i put some extra compression straps on my cat quiver.
i can whip the seat out and be set up real quick.

if you would like some pics i can take some for you.
the seat can be backed up against a tree for a backrest if need be.

The Waldrop looks nice and light. I tend to carry a certain amount of stuff in my pack like a warmer coat,  rope,gutting gloves ext .. I also hunt quite a few different tracts of land the require some walking. Do the tripod type wests swivel?

I started using the hammock seat this year and so far I am liking it.  Talk about packable..

I use this feller. Works good and is not heavy. I can sit for a while quietly. Can also get up and sit easily (I'm a handicapped hunter).

I have tried them all, the 29.00 dollar ameristep swivel stool is by far the best, legs adjust.

It does not have a back is the only draw back, but logged many hours in it.

Waldrop, strap a pack on and you can carry all you need. I also have strapped a mini cat quiver on it also. I missed 2 deer from it this year.....lol!

Hammock packs great and can to carried in your cat quiver

Got to agree with Fred above. The seat Big Jim sells is nice. Quick and quiet to set up and take down. Actually there is no set up lean it against a tree or post and sit down. Only draw back is you have to have a tree or something to lean it against.

Check out the spot 360 seat.  He is a sponser on this site with a very great seat.

I use a Dean Torges style tree seat (ties onto a tree at ground level) and a Jack Bowers Side Stalker quiver.  I can sit or carry the seat over my shoulder and still hunt.

I really like the Hammock seat and you can manuever pretty quiet with it.  However, I am working on a new idea to fit my needs better

I will give another thumbs up for the "hammock seat" here. It is light, comfortable, compact and quiet. All you need is a tree. It has replaced my Torges seat and is part of my standard ground hunting kit now. Great seat.

Ok where is some info on the hammoc ? It sounds interesting

I like my hammock seat, but am 100% disatisfied with their customer service. I received the seat as a gift. I sat in it a few times and the grommet on the front strap came off. I emailed the company. It took them 3 weeks to get back to me. Their response was to contact the distributor I purchased it from. I replied that being it was in the heart of hunting season, all I wanted to do was purchase a new strap. I never heard back from them.. I ended up buying a grommet kit and fixing it myself. Its too bad because i really like the seat. I wont purchase another if that is their best customer service...

I have a Hunter Tree Seat that I made , and added a padded swivel seat to allow me to move into shooting position without standing . A touch heavy at about six pounds , easy set up and take down. So I purchased a hammock seat for the longer walk in hunts. Both of these products I highly recommend .  Ken
