Ground hunters seat of choice
« on: July 12, 2014, 12:04:00 PM »
For you hardcore ground pounders what is your seat of choice? This year I want to do more ground hunting. For the little I've done I like tree seats. I've also used a 3 legged stool. I want to keep it small. Pics of your favorite would great. Thanks. By the way natural ground blind for me.

I was thinking about using the seat part of my lone wolf hand climber.

I'm sure that there is, the thing I like about it is you can put it at a height so that it's almost at a standing position making it easier to stand and turn if you need to. I do have a small folding seat that has a bag under it for taking extras with if you want and a strap so you can just throw it over your shoulder and go.

I am a die hard fan of the Huntmore 360 Thanks to Mike Mitten's story about his Dad loving it several years ago...I had mine about 4 years now and had several other seats that I simply had a sore rear end after a half hour or so in those but once I sat in the Huntmore 360 that will adjust to any sort of terrain I found I sat nearly 4 hours before getting up.
 I love the 360 movement and how quiet this seat is not to mention how comfortable it is..
 Now many say it costs a lot but really I found I have saved money cause I'm "Not" buying a different seat to try anymore..
 Scott is super nice to deal with and has always been there for a few questions I have had and he went above and beyond customer service..This seat will be around for years and has many uses besides just hunting..

I like the tote stool. You can clip it to your belt and sets up in seconds, is very quiet and comfy.

Waldrop pack seat and the Torges seat......2 of the best!

Here is what I use. It's cheap, lightweight, and folds up to a nice size to carry on my back.

Hammock seat for when I am moving around. Huntmore 360 for when I set up a blind that I am going to spend a lot of time in.

I use the huntmore 360.
When using my ghillie being able to pivot is worth packing it in.

I've tried a lot of different seats but none that cost over 40 bucks.
I came across some chairs that are the canvas/folding type, 4 legs at a local dime store.
6 bucks, so I bought 4, These are the most comfortable chairs I've set in, and having a bulging disc in my lower back, I have to have something fairly comfortable. I did have to camo the chairs, they only came in red or blue.

Look around, you never know what you may come across that doesn't cost a lot of money.

I buy what is on sale and usually do all right. I like the three legged style seat best, and some of these low cost seats work well. The last one I bought was a Bass Pro item. One reason I don't get the high priced item is that I leave a seat in the blind all season, which subjects it to weather hazards.

Hunt more 360 for me.

I need to play with it and rig it up so I can carry it already set up if possible, other than that it is very comfortable

Top part of a Lone Wolf tree stand.

im thinking of the groundhunters seat
Its the one Big Jims Archery sells.
looks like a good "run and gun" seat.
Just lean up again a tree.

Ive used buckets, three legged stools, etc.
Most are too hard to get up from if you need to stand.

Do they still make the waldrops? I though they stopped making those? Or did they restart?
