i just bought a hunterview bobcat portable and already have their buddy stand. the only thing i dont like is their hard seat. What do you guys think about huntersview.

I have a ladder standand like it

Havn't used that particular stand. The most uncomfortable seat in a stand I have ever suffered through was the nylon mesh seat in an Old Man I borrowed ONE time.

I have two hunters view buddy stands I use by myself. I folded the pad in half and the wife sewed it so it doubled the thickness. Then I ran a rope through it and throw it over my shoulder when I go out. I don't like to leave them out in case I don't make it back to the same stand.

Take a Stadium Cushion along with you next time . They are fairly comfortable .

I usually wear my turkey hunting vest with the cushion strapped on it.
And the vest gives me extra pockets to carry things.
