One legged hunting stool
« on: October 16, 2014, 08:32:00 PM »
Some years ago, I bought an adjustable folding one legged hunting stool, since then I have borrowed it out and it's where abouts are currently unknown. This will be a real asset to the new set up I have for rut hunting, but I can't remember the name of it, I do know it was made in Mississippi.
Thanks in advance for any info!

Tim,

Give us a report on your findings. Last I heard the seat was out of oroduction and the owner was selling off his inventory with no plans of making more.

If true ( not in production anymore ) that's too bad, as it is the best for stalking and bushwhacking deer  and elk that I have found, glad I have mine !

Can't be of any help in locating one and I'm not familiar with the NIFF T SEAT, but do have a word of warning. Spent many years hunting in Germany and the little folding/collapsing stools were very popular. One of them had a telescoping, single center leg with inverted umbrella rib type of arms supporting the canvas seat. One hunter had the telescoping leg collapse one stop and when he hit a solid setting again, the support arms collapsed and the leg of the stool went right where you would suspect. It severely injured him for life. I think that model was withdrawn from the market after that, but something to think about.

When I was a kid on the farm we used a wooden one legged stool when we milked the cows. Balancing on a one legged stool with a bucket between the knees, both hands busy squeezing the cows udders    :eek:   ...I don't think I could do that now...   :dunno:
We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Life is like a wet sponge, you gotta squeeze it until you get every drop it has to offer

I like the idea, been thinking about something like that. Big Jim has
a nice one on his site as well.

Thinking about making one; glad Bladepeek gave us a good warning about that sort of design!

I highly recommend the Nifft seat. I was gifted one and I use it quite a bit, unbelievably comfortable.

Check out the Hammock Seat by Fanatic outdoors.  One of the best investments I have ever made for hunting.  It is very comfortable and quiet.  Allows for  almost 360 degree shooting.

Very interesting.  Does it squeeze your butt?  I've got something a little similar (the Sit-Drag) and it's a bit of a butt squisher.

Sad to hear that the Niffy T Seat may longer be made. Best ground hunting seat I've ever had. Use it a lot. It's awesome!

I found a place in georgia that was selling out the Nif-t-seat for 6 bucks.   Cost me 15 to ship it.    Bill

bullfrog do you have a link? I'd buy another for a spare even though I think this one is well built enough to last me the rest of my life time!

I don't. I'm sorry I forgot the name of the place. They only had a few and I'm sure they are gone.   Bill

Take a look at a Walkstool. I use mine with the legs collapsed so they all come together at the ground. Very stable and comfortable. You can slowly pivot while taking your shot in one smooth motion.

I am usually reluctant to recommend any kind of gear because it is such a personnel decision. But if you are a mobile type of hunter its worth looking into. Very important to get sizing right. Two thumbs up.
