Which Chair/Stool for Ground Blind Hunting?
 

I'm wondering what everyone here uses for a chair/stool out of their ground blinds? I've use the Double Bull stool before, and after about 20 minutes I can't stand it anymore. Is there something out there that offers a bigger guy a little more comfort? :confused0024:

I just purchased a ground blind this year and was in a similiar situation about a month ago. I looked at all the seats available on the popular sites and they all seemed to have a sagging bottom and/or no back rest. I have some back problems so something with some support was important. After a few purchases and returns, the best option I found was just a simple folding chair. I found a black one for $12 and it is the perfect height and I have sat in folding chairs for long periods of times before, so I think it will work great.

Yes just like he said, the v shaped ones are a joke! Get yourself a cheap folding one at wallyworld for 7-12 bucks. Get one with the back rest but no arm rest to get in your way!:happy0001:

click on the archers chair icon, not the swivel-the swivel is junk from what ive heard.

I got this before last season. Used it in the blind, and also on the ground for gun hunting. VERY comfortable, its is quite expensive, but I have found that it has been worth it. I have had those chairs or stools that are the most unpleasant thing to sit in after 30 minutes or so. Absolutely no problems here. I would highly recommend it.

Now this looks comfy!!:hail:SWEET!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys for the links I will have to check 'em out closer tomorrow when I'm not beat. One of my hunting buddies finally closed on his new house so we were tearing out carpet and painting all afternoon/evening.

Just be sure it has three legs so it wont rock all over on uneven ground.

Boys you need to check out I Huntmore stool it is the most comfortable chair you will ever sit in and can hunt from this baby all day if needed. It has three legs all adjustable but neatest thing about it is it turns as you draw so you are in perfect form evry time you draw.. If you are serious about hunting out of ground blinds then this chair is for you.. It is the best of the best folds down great and comes with it's own carrying case. I will be diffently be hunting out of this chair this year.. Walt

Comfort is a huge issue.....ut THE main thing I look for in a ground chair is....proper height (if you're shooting out of a blind). I went through several before settling on the tripod with a back. I got mine from the NWTF site. It's the perfect height for ME.

*note...this was with the compound. I sit a little higher, now (trad bow) out of necessity.....but I've also decided to lose the man-made blinds (for next turkey season).

For deer hunting.....I'll be using the millenium 300 tree seat and finding (or constructing) my own cover. The seat is adjustable to any height and is SUPER comfy.

i have used the ameristep swivel for a couple years now - but it pretty much needs to be replaced every year. when sitting in it - it feels like a $20 chair. but it works for a morning/night sit - don't think i would want to do a full day.

You really need to check out that huntmore chair it answers all of the things you just listed It is adjustable in height it is packable and light it is with out a dought the most comfortable you can sit in this baby all day it is super quiet swiveling 360 degrees and you wont have to keep buying a cheap one every year this baby will last you for life.. Walt

Yeah, I am still searching for a chair that meets all my demands. I will have to check out that huntmore chair. I don't think I've seen that one yet...

The Huntmore chair is $200. Looks nice, but that is about 4 times what I would expect to pay. I bought a cheap Redhead stool for 12 bucks. I will use it when packing everything in, and take a more comfortable stool to leave when needed for a all day sit.
Good luck with your search,
Chris

Holy cow! $200 for a stool to sit on, I think I'll keep shopping!

Rammer,

I actually designed the Huntmore stool. Buy 3 or 4 of the other stools for $25.00-50.00, and a few years from now if you have sat in enough of them, you will end up buying a Huntmore. If you want quality - you pay for it!

People told Andrae his treestands were way overpriced (Lonewolf), and 25 years later he has a cult following because they are the best! You get what you pay for man!

If (a) you are going to leave the blind in the same location on private land for part or all of the season, rarely if ever moving it, and (b) shooting mostly out of windows that compose 180 degrees or so of the blind, I would get yourself a hard plastic lawn chair. One that you can sit comfortably in but be in an alert, upright position ready to release an arrow if necessary. The pros are that they sturdy, comfortable for long sits and silent to move around on. The cons are that they really aren't for dragging along when moving from spot to spot and that you limit your shooting range to in front of you and to the sides. It works well for me in my stationary ground blinds as I typically only have a few windows/shooting lanes open anyway as to not spook the deer. I don't need to turn in every direction typically.

I hated my Double Bull chair and bought a $9 Wally world chair that is pretty comfy.

That sounds good untill your dream buck comes in from the right or left and you can't shoot because the arm of the hard plastic chair is in the way.. I will be in the huntmore and just spin to where I need to shoot and get my buck. $200 sounds crazy but when I add up all the stupid little cheap chairs I have bought in 33 years of hunting I could have bought 2 huntmores by now because you always end up sitting in the cheapy once or twice and pitching it to find something better. You might as well buy the right one first..Walt

Here's a website of a co-worker of mine he designed this chair himself. Just give it a look. www.buythechair.com Let me know what you think.

[quote=stikbow26;3426856]I'm not doubting its a first rate great chair, but I can and have shot over the plastic arms no problem when turning to the side. They also make lawn chairs with no arms that are comfy.

I recently bought a PRIMOS QS3. it is a great stool and comfortable, I like it so far.

don't get the V shaped one's if you want comfort.....like everyone else you won't be happy after 20 - 30 min / bought a better name brand seat but still the same result on my butt.....lots of non-comfort

Funny you guys should ask. I have just the thing.

It is the magnus rack pack. They are a little high ($179 shipped) but this is the best thing for blinds you have ever seen.

They are not only the most comfortable stool you have ever set in but it also carries your blind. You barely even feel the weight. It has padded straps and everything to keep you from getting wore out while you are packing your blind in and out.

It is also a really neat packframe. You can use it for hauling out just about anything. Elk meat or whatever you want. They come with a hat and have a lifetime warranty too.

I think they are rated for people that weigh up to 300 lbs. if I remember right. Plus it only takes seconds to get your blind out and setup and seconds to convert it to a stool.

It even has an adjustable headrest. About the only thing it doesnt have is a cupholder and I am sure you could mount one on there! LOL!

Rick, now that is something I am definately interested in. It serves more than one purpose and looks to be pretty comfortable. It might even assist in packing out a bull elk this fall! :)

rammer,
it is amazing how much it can do and how comfortable it is. It can pretty much haul anything you put on it and it is so comfortable you could probly fall asleep if you arent careful. Not to mention it only takes seconds to change back and forth.
