I'm thinking that for a way to carry your chair on an ATV,you could probably modify a tree-stand carrier designed for ATV's that would work pretty good on a chair too. I noticed too,that you were reworking an old chicken coop for a groung blind to hunt out of.How about a pop-up blind instead? Maybe one like a Double-Bull,or a
similar type? This way,you could ride in on the ATV,off-load to the chair,and then go into the area you wanted to hunt(with the chair and blind)and set up just about anywhere.What do you think?<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>whack

Hey, Whack!
I'm looking at all my options, for an adapted w/c carrrier - including a treestand carrier. I can't remember the brand, but I think I've found a model that wouldn't require too much modification.
I bought an Ameristep Outhouse pop-up blind last year, and it's pretty handy. I don't care much for the name, though - LOL. I wish I could have afforded the DoubleBull.... they're much larger! Most other pop-up blinds I looked at, the windows were too low to shoot from a w/c. A friend has a Double Bull blind, which he's gonna bring down for turkey season. He just bought it last year, and swears by it. I have no idea if it would be difficult for me to set up by myself, but I'm sure gonna find out!
That's exactly what I'm trying to do - be independent in taking my w/c & blind out, and setting up in my hunting spot. For now, I have to depend on someone having the time & inclination to help me set up, get to my blind before dawn and so on. I can't always hunt when it's convenient for me, because it's not always convenient for others.
I'm "remodeling" the old chicken coop because it's smack dab in the middle of a great hunting spot. It's an old homestead site, that was abandoned years ago. The deer have gotten used to it being there (built in the 50's), and have bedding areas nearby. I set up my pop-up blind in the area last year, and they avoided the area all together. I used scent control, effective camo and the whole 9 yards! I think the main problem was the camo pattern on my pop-up blind - I noticed it looked like a "blob" from a distance. Plus, my pop-up doesn't have adequate room for my w/c, weapon & hunting box. The coop has plenty of room to move around - without being detected.
